Gore (3-6) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss.
EDGE Analysis
Gore delivered his fifth straight quality start despite not having a very efficient outing. He gave up a run in each of the first two innings before settling in for four scoreless frames. Washington scored just one run, leading to Gore's first loss since May 23. Since being chased in the fourth inning against the Orioles on May 16, he's produced a 1.45 ERA with a 35:5 K:BB across 31 frames. Gore owns an impressive 2.89 ERA and 119:23 K:BB for the season. His next start is projected to be a tough road matchup against the Dodgers.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks across six innings. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Gore reeled in his fourth consecutive quality start, adding to what's been a stellar campaign for the 26-year-old. He allowed a solo homer to Juan Soto in the third inning, marking the first long ball Gore has allowed in six starts. Gore has struck out six or more batters in all but one of his 14 starts, and he owns a 2.88 ERA to pair with a 114:22 K:BB over 81.1 innings in 2025. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Marlins on Sunday to close out a two-start week.

Gore (3-5) earned the win Wednesday over the Cubs, allowing three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Gore was excellent Wednesday against a Cubs team that came into the day leading the majors in runs scored per game. The southpaw has now turned in back-to-back scoreless outings and three straight quality starts -- he's allowed just one run on nine hits while striking out 24 across 19 innings in that span. Gore's ERA is down to 2.87 on the year with a 1.14 WHIP and an MLB-leading 108 strikeouts across 13 starts (75.1 innings). He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against the Mets.

Gore didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Mariners after allowing four hits and no walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
It was Gore's first scoreless start since his first appearance of the season, and he racked up an impressive 18 whiffs. The left-hander has fanned at least eight in six of his last eight outings, during which he boasts a 2.98 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 69:15 K:BB covering 45.1 innings, and he's worked fewer than five frames on a lone occasion in 2025. Gore has offered a fairly safe fantasy floor in most instances this year, but he's in for a tough test versus the Cubs in his next scheduled start.

Gore (leg) is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Mariners, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander exited his most recent start Friday against the Giants due to tightness in his left leg, but the injury won't stop him from making his next turn through the rotation. Gore has a 3.47 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:21 K:BB across 62.1 innings this season, with his 36.2 percent strikeout rate representing an increase of more than 11 percentage points from his first three MLB campaigns.

Gore exited Friday's game in the seventh inning due to left leg tightness, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gore stayed in the game after getting hit in the leg by a comebacker during the second inning, but it seemed to bother him a bit more by the seventh. The Nationals aren't too concerned about the left-hander's availability going forward, so it sounds like he should be in good shape to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come Thursday in Seattle.

Gore was removed from his start in the seventh inning Friday against the Giants with an apparent injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gore grimaced after throwing a pitch in the seventh inning of Friday's contest, causing him to leave the game early after throwing six innings of shutout ball. It's not immediately apparent what kind of injury the 26-year-old southpaw is dealing with, but the Nationals' training staff will take a closer look at him and report their findings in the near future.

Gore escaped with a no-decision in Friday's win over the Orioles, giving up two runs on 10 hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out nine.
EDGE Analysis
It was a bizarrely historic performance for the southpaw, as per Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post, it was the first time in MLB history a pitcher threw fewer than four innings while recording at least 10 hits allowed and nine Ks. Gore's control has begun to regress, as he's issued nine walks in 15.1 innings over his last three starts, but that's come with 25 strikeouts and a palatable 4.11 ERA. He leads the majors with 84 Ks, 10 ahead of Zack Wheeler, and he'll look to tighten things up in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against Atlanta.

Gore (2-4) took the loss Sunday against St. Louis, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 6.2 innings with seven strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The Washington southpaw showed no ill effects of the ankle injury he suffered during his last start May 4 in this 101-pitch performance. Gore generated 13 whiffs and was in line for a quality start before allowing two runs (one scoring on a single conceded by reliever Andrew Chafin) in the seventh as he tired. Through 52.2 innings, Gore has pitched to a 3.59 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 75:16 K:BB. He is currently slated to make his next start against the Orioles in Baltimore next weekend.

Gore (ankle) is listed as the Nationals' probable pitcher for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gore tweaked his ankle during his last start against the Reds, but he'll be ready to go Sunday on six days of rest. The left-hander has been stellar this season, collecting a 3.33 ERA and 68:13 K:BB over 46 innings covering eight starts.
