Gomez gave up a single while capturing his seventh save of the season in Thursday's 3-0 win against the Nationals.
Manager Pete Mackanin was reluctant to call Gomez his closer at the beginning of the season, but there's no doubt about it now. Gomez is off to an incredible start as he remained a perfect seven-for-seven with his latest close. Entering the year, the righty had one save in his six-year career, but now appears to be one of the more reliable ninth-inning arms in the game (at least for now). Considering the Phillies are unlikely to win games by large margins, Gomez could see plenty of opportunities to rack up saves and be one of the great surprises in 2016.
