Gore allowed one run on five hits, four walks and two hit batters while striking out three over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gore has walked at least three batters in each of his last six appearances after doing so just once in his first seven outings. For the second straight start, he was able to mitigate the damage despite putting a lot of traffic on base, as he's allowed just one run in 10.2 innings after giving up 14 runs over the two starts before this improved stretch. The rookie southpaw has a 3.18 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 68:32 K:BB in 65 innings overall, and he'll need to work on reining in his control next weekend against the Giants.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 1-0 victory over Philadelphia, allowing three hits and four walks with four strikeouts in five scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gore started strong by retiring the first six Phillies but was lucky to strand all seven batters he put on in the third through fifth innings. The scoreless outing is the 23-year-old's fifth in 15 starts, though he's now walked at least three batters in each of his last five turns after totaling 11 in his first 10. Gore owns a solid 3.34 ERA and 1.33 WHIP and will be tested with a road start against the Dodgers scheduled for next weekend.

Gore (4-3) took a four-inning loss against the Rockies on Friday, allowing eight runs on nine hits while striking out one and walking three.

EDGE Analysis

Gore added more than a run to his ERA after allowing eight earned runs, including three home runs. He lasted just four innings after going 2.1 in his last appearance, also against Colorado. The young lefty had been stellar this season up until his last two games and still holds a solid 3.64 ERA. Gore will look to make some adjustments before his next outing, tentatively set for next week at home versus the Phillies. The rookie should have a chance to stay in the rotation, especially with Joe Musgrove on the COVID-19-related injured list.

Gore (4-2) took the loss during Saturday's 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Rockies in Game 2 of a doubleheader, allowing six runs on five hits and four walks with three strikeouts in 2.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gore navigated an easy first inning and permitted just one run in the second but surrendered five baserunners and five runs in the third before being pulled to submit the worst start of his young career. The blip caused the 23-year-old rookie's ERA to spike a full run from 1.50 to 2.50 and was his first start in 10 turns where he allowed more than three runs. Gore will go for revenge with another start against Colorado set for next weekend.

Gore (4-1) earned the win against Milwaukee on Saturday, pitching six scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and three walks while striking out 10.

EDGE Analysis

Gore was dominant in the start, tying his career high with 10 strikeouts and inducing 14 swings-and-misses. The rookie threw 108 pitches -- his most as a big-leaguer -- and didn't allow any extra-base hits. After seeing his prospect stock drop last season, Gore has turned things around in his first opportunity in the majors, logging a 1.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 57:17 K:BB across 48 innings. The early Rookie of the Year favorite is expected to make his next start at home against Colorado next weekend.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 4-2 win against Pittsburgh, allowing two hits and three walks with nine strikeouts in seven scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gore shut down the Pirates offense by throwing 66 of 93 pitches for strikes with a season-high nine strikeouts and an impressive 15 swinging strikes. Unfortunately for the 23-year-old, the bullpen let in two runs in the eighth to immediately spoil the rookie's excellent performance. Gore has now held opposing offenses to three runs or fewer in each of his seven starts while allowing just one run over his last 16 innings to lower his ERA to an impressive 1.71. He'll look to keep the momentum rolling against Milwaukee next weekend.

Gore (3-1) earned the victory, striking out six over six innings while allowing one run on three hits and two walks in a 10-1 win Sunday in San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

With the Padres already ahead by seven runs, Gore allowed a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning for the only run against him in an otherwise stellar outing. It was the first time the young lefty completed six innings in a game at the major-league level. The 23-year-old has put up excellent numbers to start his career and has a 2.06 ERA with 38 strikeouts over 35 innings, allowing just one long ball. Assuming he will continue in a starting role, his next start will likely come next weekend against Pittsburgh.

Gore is starting Sunday's series finale against the Giants, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gore pitched out of the bullpen Tuesday against the Phillies, and he allowed three hits and no walks while striking out four in three scoreless innings to earn the hold. The Padres haven't announced whether Gore will remain in the rotation following Sunday's start, but the southpaw has certainly performed well this season by posting a 2.17 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 29 innings over six appearances (five starts).

Gore picked up a hold against Philadelphia on Tuesday by throwing three scoreless innings, allowing three hits while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

This was Gore's first professional relief appearance -- before Tuesday, he had started in all 61 of his minor- and major-league outings. The new role didn't seem to phase the 23-year-old, as he threw 30 of 40 pitches for strikes and limited the Phillies to three singles. Gore has been great as a starter this season, posting a 2.42 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over 26 innings, but he moved to the bullpen due to the return of Mike Clevinger and the imminent return of Blake Snell (groin). Gore is a candidate to move back into the rotation if the need arises, but he could spend substantial time in the bullpen throughout the season since the Padres will likely look to limit his workload.

Gore is scheduled to work behind starter Mike Clevinger in relief during Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

At least to begin the week, Gore will be pitching out of the bullpen with the Padres set to return Blake Snell (groin) from the 10-day injured list to start Wednesday. San Diego could move back to a six-man rotation as it begins a stretch of 40 games in 42 days beginning Monday, but it's unclear if Gore or Nick Martinez -- who is also in the bullpen to begin the week -- will be reappointed to a starting role. From a performance standpoint, Gore proved to be deserving of a permanent starting role, as he submitted a 2.42 ERA and 28:9 K:BB across 26 innings through his first five outings. However, because he's just 23 years old and hasn't tossed more than 100 innings in a season since 2019, the Padres could be inclined to keep Gore in the bullpen as a means of managing his workload.
