Left-hander leaves tie game after 5 1/3 innings, Pierce Johnson, Dinelson Lamet allow three runs in eighth
For the second straight night, a Padres pitcher walked off the mound to a standing ovation.
A couple poorly located fastballs were the blemishes on a night in which Gore threw his fastball all over the zone, used his three other pitches efficiently enough and worked out of scant trouble a couple times. “That’s what you look for in a young pitcher when he gets some guys out there, how he responds to that,” Melvin said afterward.
Austin Riley smacked a 93 mph fastball in the middle of the zone to left field for a lead-off double in the fourth, and Marcell Ozuna followed by flaring a single the other way to make it 2-0. Three pitches later, the inning was over on a double play grounder and a groundout.good,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Gore. “I thought he was composed. His stuff was live. I’m sure on the other side they are happy with what he did out there tonight.
Gore was the third overall pick in the 2017 draft, going from Whiteville High in North Carolina to almost instantly becoming widely considered the future ace of the Padres starting rotation.
