Gomez picked up his third loss of the season Friday. He allowed four runs on four hits and was pulled without retiring a batter.
Gomez was brought into the game to try to hold a 4-4 tie. He now has a 6.75 ERA and 7:5 K:BB in 12 innings since the beginning of August. He has blown only one save over that stretch, however, and remains secure in his closer role for now. If he starts to blow up in save opportunities, Hector Neris would be next in line for ninth inning duties.
