Catcher Gomes has had winning formula early this season, but Cubs can't hold on vs. Padres. McGrawDHSports cubs
It didn't matter who was on the mound, Yan Gomes was behind the plate.
"He picks up on little details," Smyly said of Gomes."I don't want to give away our secrets, but we do fake a lot of shakes. He's just really good at mixing the ball in and out and knowing when to double-up or triple-up on a pitch or bounce around the zone." "I think what he does behind the plate and in the clubhouse and on a daily basis with our pitching staff is probably the No. 1 priority for him and us," manager David Ross said of Gomes."What he does offensively is always a bonus."
Gomes kept Wednesday's game alive by slicing a double into the corner off Josh Hader with two outs in the ninth. Nelson Velazquez walked after a long at-bat, but Nico Hoerner fouled out to the catcher on the first pitch he saw.
