Holmes (1-0) picked up the win over the Giants on Wednesday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out six.
Holmes didn't get off to the start he'd hoped for, surrendering a leadoff home run to Tyler Fitzgerald on the first pitch he threw before also allowing a single in the opening frame. However, the right-hander recovered nicely, keeping the Giants off the board before allowing an RBI single in the seventh. It marked Holmes' first win on the campaign, and he's now recorded at least six strikeouts in three of his last four starts. On the downside, he's also allowed multiple runs in three consecutive outings and has coughed up a long ball in four straight games.
