A few weeks ago, Clay Holmes looked destined for the bullpen. Now, after two solid starts, he seems to be finding a groove. The right-handed starter earned the win in the Mets’ 9-2 victory over Atlanta on Saturday evening, a game that featured six Mets home runs and little stress from start to finish. Holmes was excellent, pitching past the sixth inning for the first time since June 7. He...
