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.

Records eighth save Gomez picked up the save Sunday against the Rockies. He pitched a perfect inning without recording a strikeout.

Impact Following an Anthony Banda hit-by-pitch to open the ninth inning, Gomez entered and retired the side without any trouble to secure his eighth save of the season. The right-hander has been stellar of late, not allowing a hit across 6.1 scoreless innings over his past six outings while recording three saves during that stretch. The 26-year-old has been great since joining the Twins on May 6, posting a 1.25 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB with seven saves across 21.2 innings for Minnesota while emerging as the club's top option in the ninth inning.

Secures seventh save Gomez picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win over the Rangers. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings.

Impact Gomez entered with a two-run lead and two outs in the eighth inning and went on to convert a four-out save on 15 pitches without issue. It marked the seventh save of the season for the 26-year-old, who has emerged as the Twins' top option at closer. Since being traded from the Rays on May 6, Gomez has posted a 1.53 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB with six saves across 17.2 innings.

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.

Records fourth save Tuesday Gomez picked up the save in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox, recording a pair of strikeouts over 1.1 hitless and scoreless innings.

Impact Since being acquired from the Rays earlier this season, Gomez has become a reliable late-innings arm for manager Derek Shelton and is a perfect 3-for-3 on save chances with Minnesota. Across 12.2 innings with the Twins, Gomez has allowed just two runs (one earned) on six hits with a 16:4 K:BB. He's struck out nearly one-third (32.7 percent) of the batters he's faced.

Third save of season Gomez earned his third save of the season in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the White Sox. He allowed a run and struck out one in one inning of work.

Impact Gomez entered the game in the 11th inning when the Twins had a three-run lead. Even though he allowed a run when an RBI single from Chase Meidroth scored Munetaka Murakami, he managed to close the door on the win while tossing 11 of his 18 pitches for strikes. Gomez has gone 3-for-3 in save chances this season. Taylor Rogers will remain as the Twins' closer for the foreseeable future, but Gomez remains a reliable arm in the late-inning mix. He owns a 1.04 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 10 appearances (8.2 innings) in May.

Logs first save with Minnesota Gomez earned the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Guardians after recording all three outs in a scoreless ninth.

Impact Eric Orze was deployed in the Twins' 2-1 extra-innings win Saturday, so Gomez was tasked with protecting the Twins' one-run lead in the ninth. He answered the call by tossing nine strikes on 10 pitches for his second save of the season and third of his major-league career. The Twins are still figuring out who their go-to closer is as seven players logging at least one save this season. Justin Topa leads the way with two saves, though he's given up nine earned runs over his last 2.1 innings.

MAY 6 • MLB.COM

Acquired by Twins The Twins acquired Gomez from the Rays on Wednesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact It's unclear whether it was a straight waiver claim or a trade, but Gomez is out of minor-league options so he will join the Twins' bullpen. The 26-year-old holds a 6.23 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 13:10 K:BB through 17.1 innings at the big-league level in 2026.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Rays The Rays designated Gomez for assignment Saturday, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact Gomez has gotten off to a poor start this season, logging a 6.23 ERA and 1.67 WHIP with a 13:10 K:BB through 17.1 innings, and he'll now end up as the odd man out of a roster spot following Garrett Cleavinger's (calf) return from the injured list. Gomez, 26, owns a 5.11 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in his MLB career and could end up spending the rest of the season as organizational depth if he clears waivers.
