Clay Holmes allowed four earned runs over 4 1/3 innings while striking out eight in Friday's loss to the Yankees.

Holmes held his former team scoreless through the first two innings but ran into some trouble in the third inning. After retiring the first two batters he faced in the frame, Holmes would allow back-to-back singles to Ben Rice and Aaron Judge, who were then driven home by back-to-back doubles from Cody Bellinger and Jazz Chisholm. Holmes would retire Ryan McMahon on strikes to end the inning, but was charged with one more earned run in the fifth inning after being pulled for Austin Warren. Holmes struck out a season-high eight batters despite having his shortest and arguably his worst outing of the season. He draws another tough start in his next outing, which is scheduled for Wednesday on the road against the Nationals.
