Manager Pete Mackanin refused to call Gomez the Phillies' closer when asked Sunday, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports. "I don't want to jump to conclusions here," Mackanin said. "Let's keep playing it out until we see what happens."
Gomez has saves in each of the Phillies' last two wins, so it's likely that he'll continue to get save chances for the time being. It remains possible that the Phillies could turn to David Hernandez or Andrew Bailey (if he gets recalled from the minors this month) in the event that Gomez struggles.
