Gomes went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, a walk, and two runs scored in Wednesday's loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Gomes, who served as the Braves' cleanup hitter with lefty Yohan Flande on the mound, ended up being robbed of two plate appearances after he was replaced in left field by Michael Bourn later in the contest. The Braves' outfield is more crowded these days with Freddie Freeman's return from the DL pushing Nick Swisher into more consideration for a corner spot, which may result in Gomes seeing decreased action against right-handed pitching. Wednesday's start was just his second in the past 11 games.
