Gomez gave up a walk and collected a strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning to collect his 12th save of the season in Friday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.
Gomez walked Ian Happ to lead off the inning but retired the next three batters he faced to lock down the Twins' first win of the second half. The 26-year-old has benefited heavily from a change of scenery this season, posting a 1.65 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 27.1 innings since moving from the Rays to the Twins in May.
