Gomez notched his 14th save with a perfect ninth inning in Philadelphia's 3-2 win over the Reds on Friday night. He struck out one.
With the surprising Phillies now 21-15, Gomez has converted 14-of-15 save chances while maintaining a respectable 2.49 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP. Every year, someone comes out of the shadows to become a fantasy asset at the back of a bullpen, and Gomez is the leading candidate for that honor in 2016. With pretty pedestrian stuff, and a team that would appear to be playing a bit over their heads, it might be risky to expect these numbers to continue all season, but if you own him, enjoy the ride.
