Gloucester recovered from a poor start to defeat rock-bottom Worcester.
The Warriors went ahead as James Brown kicked a drop-goal and a penalty, before Peter Richards made a try-saving tackle on Brown to turn the game.
Gloucester pushed on and Peter Buxton touched down with Ryan Lamb adding the extras and two more penalties.
Mark Foster added a second but Lee Best ran over as Worcester fought back only for two penalties and a James Bailey try to put the game beyond reach.
Gloucester head coach Dean Ryan:
"I'm disappointed. That was one of our poorest performances of late and I'm not happy about that. "We've got some problems with injuries, but back that up with a poor display and Worcester should be going home very disappointed not to be in the mix.
"They missed a gilt-edged opportunity to get a win here."
Worcester head coach John Brain:
"I can't remember ever losing a game when the opposition attack didn't trouble us at all. "Yet we lost the game by 14 points and that's hard to take.
"We've got six games left and we've got to win two points more than Northampton to stay up. There are no bad teams in this league but the table doesn't lie."
