On May 31, 2012, Gómez signed with the San Francisco Giants as an international free agent. On November 18, 2016, the Giants added Gómez to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[1]

Gomez started 2017 with the Richmond Flying Squirrels and was called up on July 7 to the Giants. He made his debut the same day against the Miami Marlins as a pinch hitter, going hitless in his only at bat.[2] He picked up his first major league hit and RBI two days later. Gómez finished his rookie campaign with a .242/.235/.303 batting line and two RBI.

Gómez played in nine games for San Francisco in 2018, going 4–for–15 (.267) with one RBI. On October 22, 2018, he was removed from the 40–man roster and sent outright to the Triple–A Sacramento River Cats.[3] Gómez elected free agency following the season on November 2.[4]

In 165 plate appearances, he hit .298/.321/.475 with 6 home runs and 22 RBI.
