RHP Jeanmar Gomez worked out of jams in the eighth and ninth innings against the Cubs on Tuesday to earn his 19th save of the season, and the first multi-inning save of his career. The normally mild-mannered Gomez entered the game after Chicago, trailing 3-1, loaded the bases with nobody out against his predecessor, Hector Neris. "He looked a little nervous today," manager Pete Mackanin said. "I was nervous, too." Gomez denied that he was as nervous as he might have seemed to his manager. "I was just focused on doing my job and helping the team," he said. "You don't have to try to do too much. Just attack the hitter because you need an out quickly." He yielded a sacrifice fly to Dexter Fowler, making it 3-2, but then saw Jason Heyward ground a ball to the right of Andres Blanco, who had just entered the game at second base on a double-switch. Blanco fielded the ball on his knees and fed shortstop Freddy Galvis for the force at second. Galvis then fired to first to complete the inning-ending double play. "That," Mackanin said, "was a special play." The Cubs also put runners at the corners with two outs in the ninth, but Gomez retired David Ross on a grounder to end the game.

Prior to this season, Gomez had one career save, which he picked up with Pittsburgh two years ago.

RHP Jeanmar Gomez has settled into the closer's role, and to date has converted all four of his save opportunities. "I think his composure stands out to me," manager Pete Mackanin said. "He didn't seem daunted at all in the four save opportunities he had. ... He has a good idea what he's trying to do. He's going to make mistakes, like everybody else, but he's got a good enough sinker and a very good changeup for lefties, and he can cut the ball in on a left-hander. He's got a pretty good slider. He's got the pitches that if he can make quality pitches, he can be successful."

RHP Jeanmar Gomez allowed a run in the ninth inning Wednesday against San Diego, but recorded his fourth save in as many opportunities. While Gomez has obviously settled into the closer's role, manager Pete Mackanin is reluctant to identify him as such. "I don't want to pin that label on him," he said. "I just want to leave him alone and let him pitch the way he's been pitching."
