Phillies' Jeanmar Gomez: Saves 21st game against Diamondbacks

Gomez picked up his 21st save with a clean ninth inning Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Analysis:

Gomez doesn't rack up anywhere near the strikeout totals of most elite closers -- he has just 24 in 36 innings, a 6.7 K/9. He's making it work, as only five closers have more than his 21 saves, but the only regular closer with a worse K/9 is Arizona's Brad Ziegler (6.0).
