MLB Roundtable: Mariners or Astros in AL West? Yankees and Mets in Trouble?
Labors in no-decision Holmes took a no-decision Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on six hits and five walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.
Impact It was a laborious outing for Holmes, who fell one walk shy of matching his season high and couldn't get through four innings despite throwing 85 pitches. The five runs allowed also established a season worst, and the former reliever is showing signs of fatigue late in his first full campaign as a starter. Holmes is now up to a career-high 126 innings, which is nearly double his previous career high, and he has a 5.45 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 26:17 K:BB across 38 frames since the start of July. He's tentatively scheduled to take the ball this weekend versus the Mariners.

Collects six Ks in no-decision Holmes didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.
Impact The six strikeouts were the most for Holmes in nearly two months, matching his total from a June 7 win over the Rockies. That was also the last time the right-hander completed six innings, and he's been held under 80 pitches in his last two outings as the Mets try to find ways to limit the converted reliever's workload down the stretch. Since the beginning of July, Holmes has stumbled to a 4.72 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB through 34.1 innings. He'll look to build on Tuesday's performance in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against Atlanta.

Hit around in loss Holmes (9-6) took the loss against the Padres on Wednesday, allowing four runs (two earned) on eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 3.2 innings.
Impact Holmes was tagged for four runs across the second and third innings, including a two-run homer by Gavin Sheets following a two-out error. It marked the 32-year-old's shortest outing of the season, and he hasn't gone deep enough for a quality start since June 7. He owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 91:46 K:BB across 117.1 innings and will try to get back on track in a home matchup with the Guardians early next week.

Bounces back for ninth win Holmes (9-5) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings to earn the win over the Giants.
Impact Holmes was good enough, though he was far from dominant or efficient, needing 104 pitches (64 strikes) to get through five frames. The right-hander is reportedly not being considered for a move back to the bullpen, so the Mets appear to have faith in him to continue holding down a rotation spot despite a rough July. Friday's outing was his first win in five starts this month, and he's allowed 15 runs (14 earned) over 25.2 innings in that span. The 32-year-old is at a 3.40 ERA despite a 1.28 WHIP and 88:44 K:BB through 113.2 innings across 21 starts. He is tentatively projected for a road start in San Diego next week.

No plan for relief role The Mets aren't considering shifting Holmes to the bullpen to limit his innings, Will Sammon and Tim Britton of The Athletic report.
Impact The 32-year-old former closer for the Yankees was converted to a starting role this season and has more than held his own, posting a 3.48 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 86:43 K:BB over 108.2 innings. That's already 45.2 innings more than he pitched last season however, and Holmes' recent performances suggest he could be feeling the strain of that workload, as he has a 5.66 ERA over four July starts. The Mets do have the depth to move the right-hander to the bullpen once the likes of Tylor Megill (elbow) get healthy -- even before factoring top prospects like Nolan McLean, or any trade deadline additions, into the rotation mix -- but the team doesn't have any plans to make that move pre-emptively. Holmes will try to get back on track when he takes the mound Friday in San Francisco.
