Manager Pete Mackanin said he was undecided when asked before Wednesday's game if Gomez would close should a save opportunity arise, Ryan Lawrence of the Philly Voice reports.
The Phillies ended up winning by five runs Wednesday, so we did not get to see if Mackanin has decided to make a change at closer. Gomez has seen his ERA jump from 2.52 to 4.03 over his last 16 appearances and 29 of 67 batters he has faced have reached base during that stretch. Hector Neris is the likely candidate to take over closing duties if Mackanin makes a change.
