Walks two while converting save Gomez allowed two walks and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Gomez has collected four saves and two wins over his last eight outings, though he's posted an 8:7 K:BB across eight inning in that span. Despite the slight drama, he was able to slam the door without allowing a run, picking up his 14th save of the season in the process. Gomez has maintained a 3.26 ERA on the year despite a 1.29 WHIP and 45:25 K:BB through 49.2 innings between the Twins and the Rays, and he's yet to blow a save chance while adding six holds. His 1.67 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 32.1 innings with Minnesota paint a more encouraging picture of his performance, giving him decent stability in the closer role depending on how much the Twins reshape their bullpen before the trade deadline.

Collects save No. 13 Gomez earned a save against the Athletics on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

Impact Four Minnesota pitchers combined to hold the A's scoreless over eight frames, and Gomez was given the ball to begin the ninth. The right-hander didn't take long to close things out, needed just eight pitches (six strikes) to retire the side in order. Gomez entered the campaign with just one career regular-season save on his ledger, but he's emerged as the Twins' primary closer this season. He's a perfect 13-for-13 on save opportunities, and since recording his first save April 18, Gomez has posted a standout 2.04 ERA along with a 34:16 K:BB over 35.1 innings spanning 37 appearances.

Logs 10th save Gomez registered a save against the Guardians on Tuesday, striking out the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.

Impact The Twins carried a 3-1 lead into the ninth frame and turned to lefty Tyler Rogers with Cleveland set to send up two left-handed batters. Rogers got two outs before walking Chase DeLauter, which prompted Minnesota manager Derek Shelton to summon Gomez from the bullpen. The righty reliever got the job done with aplomb, getting three straight swinging strikes to end the game. Gomez is now a perfect 10-for-10 on save opportunities this season and has emerged as the Twins' clear top closer. He had a rough start to the season but has been outstanding since the beginning of May, posting a 1.85 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings over 28 appearances.

Records one-out save Gomez notched a save against the Astros on Monday, allowing one run on one hit over one-third of an inning.

Impact Minnesota held a 5-1 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, but Houston rallied off reliever Travis Adams for a pair of runs. Twins manager Derek Shelton then turned to Gomez, who served up a solo homer to Cam Smith before getting Joey Loperfido on a game-ending groundout. It wasn't the cleanest outing by Gomez, but he recorded his sixth save (in six chances) so far in June to further strengthen his grasp on Minnesota's closer role. The right-hander gave up 12 earned runs across his first 15.1 frames this season, but he's been outstanding since then, posting a 1.50 ERA with a 23:8 K:BB across 24 innings spanning his past 26 appearances.

Converts sixth save Gomez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Gomez has earned six saves on the year, three of which have come in June. He's allowed two runs over six innings this month with a 7:3 K:BB. Gomez has a 4.01 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB over 33.2 innings between the Twins and the Rays. Most of his high-leverage work (five saves and five holds) has come with Minnesota after he was traded in early May. The Twins' bullpen has been volatile this season, but Gomez should continue to get at least a share of ninth-inning duties as long as he avoids disasters, which he has done well with a 1.65 ERA over 16.1 innings for the Twins.

Fifth save of season Gomez picked up the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk, but getting one strike out in one inning of work.

Impact The save-leader for the Twins secured another one through a shaky ninth where Gomez allowed a run off a Dillon Dingler single, but then struck out Riley Greene to end the game. Gomez has now converted all four of his save chances with Minnesota this season. The right-hander has now gave up only two earned runs with a 18:6 K:BB out of Minnesota's bullpen in 14 innings.
