Gore didn't factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta after allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while fanning three across 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gore ended just two outs away from posting a quality start in what was a strong MLB debut for one of the best prospects in the Padres' farm system. His tenure with the big-league club will probably be tied to Blake Snell's recovery from a groin injury, but it shouldn't be ruled out to see Gore stick with the team if he performs well. Friday's outing was certainly a step in the right direction for the 23-year-old southpaw.
