Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Nails down save No. 20
Gomez struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 20th save of the season in a 6-4 win over Atlanta.
The right-hander remains perfect on the season in converting save chances as well, going 19-for-19 as the Twins' closer -- not bad for a pitcher cut loose by the Rays in early May after posting a 6.23 ERA in his first 17.1 innings of the year. Since the All-Star break, Gomez has delivered a 2.13 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB over 12.2 innings and 14 appearances.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Locks down 19th save
Gomez recorded a save Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing one hit while striking out one over a scoreless ninth inning.
Gomez was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and surrendered a leadoff double to Michael Harris before retiring the next three Atlanta batters to close out the victory. The right-hander is now a perfect 19-for-19 in save opportunities this season and has converted a save in five of his last six appearances. Through 10.2 innings in the second half, Gomez has surrendered four runs (three earned) with a 13:9 K:BB.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Secures 18th save
Gomez picked up the save Monday against Atlanta. He allowed no hits and a walk with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning.
Entering with a two-run cushion, Gomez surrendered a leadoff walk but was able to retire the next three batters to secure the victory. The right-hander has consistently delivered when called upon in the ninth inning, converting all 18 of his save opportunities, 17 of which have come with the Twins since being acquired from the Rays in early May. On the year, Gomez owns a 3.31 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 50:29 K:BB across 54.1 innings, including a 1.95 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:19 K:BB in 37 frames with Minnesota.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Pockets 17th save
Gomez walked one and gave up a solo home run in the ninth inning Wednesday but still recorded his 17th save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Orioles.
Leody Taveras launched a first-pitch fastball into the right-field seats to open the top of the ninth, but Gomez was able to escape the frame with no further damage. The homer was the first the right-hander had served up since June 29, and since joining the Twins in early May, Gomez has delivered a 2.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 37:18 K:BB through 36 innings while converting all 16 of his save chances.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Notches save No. 16
Gomez struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to collect his 16th save of the season in Friday's 8-6 win over Milwaukee.
Gomez began the frame with a six-pitch strikeout of Jake Bauers and needed just six more pitches to collect the final two outs of the game. He's now tallied a save in back-to-back games and still seems to be the team's preferred closer despite the addition of Jeff Hoffman at the trade deadline.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Secures save Thursday
Gomez picked up a save against the Royals on Thursday, issuing one walk and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.
Gomez was summoned in the ninth inning with Minnesota clinging to a one-run lead. He walked the first batter he faced but then picked off pinch runner Tyler Tolbert at first base. With less pressure on him, Gomez then struck out Michael Massey and Isaac Collins to improve to 15-for-15 on save chances this season. Fantasy managers who roster Gomez are likely ecstatic about him being deployed for the save opportunity, as Minnesota's trade-deadline acquisition of Jeff Hoffman cast some doubt about whether Gomez would remain in the closer role. Hoffman hade his first appearance for the Twins on Wednesday, working a perfect eighth inning in a 2-1 loss, and he could still be a threat to Gomez's hold on the ninth-inning job.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: 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.
Gomez has collected four saves and two wins over his last eight outings, though he's posted an 8:7 K:BB across eight innings 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.

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

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.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Notches 11th save
Gomez gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his 11th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Angels. He struck out one.
The right-hander continues to impress at the back of the Twins' bullpen. Gomez has gone 10-for-10 in converting save chances since being acquired from the Rays in early May, producing a 1.71 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB over 26.1 innings for his new club.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Logs 10th save
Gomez registered a save against the Guardians on Tuesday, striking out the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.
The Twins carried a 3-1 lead into the ninth 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, recording three straight swinging strikes to end the game. Gomez is now a perfect 10-for-10 in 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.

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: 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.
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.

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

Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: 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.
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.

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