Gore (3-3) earned the win over Arizona on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five batters over eight innings.
Gore served up a solo homer in the second inning, but that was the only run the Diamondbacks put on board against him. The lefty's eight frames were a season high -- he previously hadn't gone more than six innings -- and he needed just 95 pitches to go that deep. Gore had pitched to a poor 7.58 ERA over his previous four starts coming into Tuesday, so this was a much-needed turnaround. He's slated for a road matchup in the thin Colorado air his next time out.
