Gomez lost his job as Philadelphia's closer Monday, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.
Shortly after Gomez blew a three-run lead Sunday, manager Pete Mackanin said he was entertaining the idea of removing the veteran from his job as the club's closer. He's had a rough start to the season, giving up five runs off a walk and five hits -- two of which were home runs -- in three innings. Mackanin announced that Joaquin Benoit will take on the team's closing duties moving forward.
