Gomez came on with two runners on in a 6-2 game in the ninth inning Wednesday, and escaped the jam unscathed for his 37th save of the year.

Gomez had been in a rough patch entering Wednesday, and there was some question as to whether or not he would keep his job as Philadelphia's closer, despite the large number of saves he had amassed. Gomez may still be on thin ice after the solid job Wednesday, as teammate Hector Neris's 2.30 ERA is more than a full point better than Gomez's 3.66 figure.
