Padres manager Bud Black said Erlin has probably earned another start, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Called upon Thursday to make a spot start in place of Tyson Ross (elbow), Erlin held the Phillies to one run on five hits over six innings to improve to 4-4 on the season. It was Erlin's first start since May 17, as he missed close to four months with an elbow issue. While nothing's official, it sounds like Erlin may also start Tuesday at home against the Rockies, though it does not necessarily mean Ross won't toe the rubber again this season.
