Gomez required just 10 pitches to retire the Marlins in the ninth inning Wednesday for his 26th save.
After blowing a save in the opening game of this series Monday, Gomez pitched both Tuesday and Wednesday, so if there's a save chance Thursday, it'll likely be handled by Hector Neris. The 28-year-old Gomez has responded to winning the ninth-inning role in April with his best MLB season to date, but his meager total of 29 strikeouts in 45.2 innings is pretty bad for a closer. Of course, he's still fifth in the NL in saves.
