Gore joined the Royals for the final month of the regular season and their playoff run, which concluded with a World Series appearance against the San Francisco Giants. This would become a recurring motif in Gore’s career.

During the Royals’ 2015 playoff run, Gore made two appearances in the postseason, both as a pinch runner, and successfully stole a base in the American League Division Series.
