Clay Holmes - Page 8 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Earns first win of 2025 Holmes (1-1) came away with the win against the Marlins on Tuesday. He gave up four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out 10 across 5.1 innings.

Impact Holmes got off to a rough start by allowing two runs in the first inning, but he was nearly flawless over the next four frames, striking out nine batters over that span. He was tagged for two more runs in the sixth, but the Mets were able to generate enough offense for Holmes to log his first win of the 2025 campaign. In his first three starts of 2025, Holmes has a 4.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB across 14.2 innings. His next start is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Twins.

Improves control in no-decision Holmes didn't factor into the decision after allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks in 4.2 innings Wednesday against Miami. He struck out six.

Impact After struggling with his control a bit on Opening Day against Houston, Holmes did a better job of limiting the traffic Wednesday. Matt Mervis scratched a run on a sacrifice fly in the third inning, and Otto Lopez reached on a fielder's choice later in the frame to bring in another run that went unearned for the right-hander due to Mark Vientos' throwing error. Holmes is slated to face these same Marlins in a favorable matchup at home early next week, and he'll be looking to reach the 90-pitch threshold for the first time this season.

Takes loss on Opening Day Holmes (0-1) came away with the loss against the Astros on Thursday after giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

Impact Holmes entered Opening Day on the heels of a strong spring, during which he posted a 0.93 ERA and 23:8 K:BB across 19.1 Grapefruit League innings. Thursday was his first Opening Day start, and he started out strong with a punchout of Jose Altuve to open the first inning, but Holmes gave up his first run in the second frame when Jake Meyers grounded into a fielder's choice to bring Jeremy Pena across home plate. Holmes wasn't able to get past the fifth inning after walking Christian Diaz, and the Mets weren't able to generate enough runs to help to prevent Holmes from taking the loss. Holmes is slated to pitch during the three-game road series against the Marlins, where he will look to display better control.

Fans eight in final spring start Holmes allowed two hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals. He struck out eight.

Impact The Mets' Opening Day starter wrapped up his spring with a very impressive outing, albeit against a St. Louis lineup that had few big-league regulars in it, as he built up to 88 pitches (53 strikes). Holmes posted a 0.93 ERA and 23:8 K:BB through 19.1 Grapefruit League innings, and he looks ready to handle his conversion from the relief role he's filled for nearly his entire big-league career.

Garners Opening Day start for NYM Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that Holmes will start Opening Day in Houston, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Impact He might not have been the choice if the Mets' rotation was fully healthy, but Holmes has earned the nod with a dominant spring that's seen him toss 9.2 scoreless innings with a 13:4 K:BB. Holmes is making the move from bullpen to rotation this season after being used exclusively as a reliever since 2019.

Dominant against Nats Holmes struck out eight over 3.2 scoreless innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. He gave up one hit and walked three.

Impact The right-hander built up to 67 pitches (38 strikes) and was absolutely dominant against a Washington lineup that featured CJ Abrams, James Wood, Nathaniel Lowe and other likely Opening Day starters. Holmes has worked to expand his pitch mix this spring as he transitions from closing to a rotation job, and so far the results have been impressive as he has a 13:4 K:BB through 9.2 spring innings with a 0.00 ERA.
