Gomes went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-1 win against the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Gomes hit one of two two-run homers for Chicago in the contest, taking Adam Wainwright deep to center field in the fourth inning. The long ball was just the second over the past 36 games for the backstop, though he's been otherwise quite productive of late. Over his past nine games, Gomes is batting .352 (12-for-34) with four doubles, two triples, Saturday's homer and eight RBI.

Gomes went 3-for-4 with two triples, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Not known for his speed, Gomes still managed his first two triples since the 2021 season. In fact, he entered Thursday's contest with just two triples total over the last seven years and only eight for his career. The veteran catcher has had a solid season with a .270 average and .744 OPS, but don't expect too many more triples the rest of the way.

Gomes went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Gomes hit his eighth home run of the season in the eighth inning, which tied the game at 5-5. It was the catcher's first long ball since June 4 as he's slowed down a bit after a hot start. The veteran has still been good overall with a .732 OPS for the season, which is more than 100 points higher than his OPS from a year ago. He also matched his 2022 home run total with his Thursday blast.
