Tyler Phillips followed Weathers with two innings of relief before Ronny Henriquez and Michael Petersen pitched an inning each to complete the shutout.
Gore, who also was activated from the injured list on Thursday, gave up two runs and four hits in five innings. He had not pitched since Aug. 30 because of left shoulder inflammation.
