Gomber gave up just one walk over three scoreless innings in Thursday's 3-0 Grapefruit League loss to the Astros. He struck out three.
Gomber got swinging strikeouts on A.J. Reed and Jake Marisnick in the fifth and cruised through the next two frames as well for what was easily the best of his four spring appearances. The 23-year-old southpaw had given up four earned runs over 4.1 innings in his three previous trips to the mound, but Thursday's scoreless effort lowered his ERA to 4.91.
