Gomez (3-4) was atrocious Tuesday against the Pirates, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk without getting a single out for his fifth blown save of the season.
Gomez allowed the first two Pirates hitters to reach before allowing a three-run homer to pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez, after which he was promptly pulled in favor of Luis Garcia. This debacle comes as a surprise after the closer hadn't allowed an earned run in any of his last five appearances.
