Manager Pete Mackanin said that Gomez will pitch the ninth inning if a save situation arises in Thursday's game, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Gomez's status as the Phillies closer came into question over the past few days, but despite his recent struggles, it seems that the Phillies are willing to stick with him for at least another game. The 28-year-old has an impressive 37 saves on the season, but the 13 earned runs he's allowed over his past 14 appearances is very troubling, as it could impact his ability to retain the closer's role into next season.
