Gomez, Neris not concerned by '16 workload

Both pitchers had career years despite tailing off somewhat as their workload mounted.

Gomez pitched two scoreless innings in Saturday's 13-8 Grapefruit League loss to the Pirates at Spectrum Field, lowering his spring ERA to 1.17. That's encouraging, as Gomez converted 24 of 26 save opportunities with a 2.59 ERA before the All-Star break last season, but went 13-for-17 with an 8.33 ERA down the stretch.
