Clay Holmes posted four 1-2-3 innings and one shaky frame in which he yielded two runs to land at 75 pitches in a tie game through five.Holmes didn’t have a major issue with the quick hook as he navigates his way through a rising innings total during his first full year as a starting pitcher over parts of eight seasons in the major leagues.
“I was feeling good. Obviously, it’s not really my call, but I think just all things considered, he felt like it was best to go to the pen there, but I was feeling good,” Holmes said afterward. “Just one of those things, when you’re in a pennant race and you have a bullpen like we do, and the game’s really close, there’s going to be some of those decisions where everything’s not really in your control.Pete Alonso can’t match Darryl Strawberry’s record as Mets shut down by GuardiansHolmes was replaced by Gregory Soto in the sixth, and the Guardians scratched across the go-ahead run against Tyler Rogers one inning later.Cleveland tied the score in the fourth on RBI singles by Kyle Manzardo and Gabriel Arias before Holmes recorded another scoreless inning in the fifth. Clay Holmes, who allowed two runs over five innings, throws a pitch during the Mets’ 3-2 loss to the Guardians on Aug. 5, 2025.“We’re set up bullpen wise there, third time through ,” Mendoza explained. “ was really good the first time through, and then we saw the second time, that fourth inning, they gave him a hard time.The two-time All-Star reliever mostly has done that since signing a three-year contract worth $38 million to be a starter after mostly closing games for the Yanks the previous 3 ¹/₂ years. Clay Holmes talks with Francisco Alvarez after giving up two runs in the third inning of the Mets’ loss to the Guardians.The 32-year-old righty is up to 122 ¹/₃ innings over 23 starts, 52 ¹/₃ more than his previous high with the Pirates and Yankees in 2021. “At this point in the season, this amount of innings, I’m really kind of encouraged where I’m at. But at the same time, you can’t just totally be shortsighted and just totally go by how I may be feeling now,” Holmes said. “It’s a really hard thing to do, to just go out and triple your innings. Especially because we’re in a pennant race, and we plan to be playing in October, and we all need to be at our best down the stretch. “The reality of it is, yeah, my innings are getting up there, and we just want to keep me feeling good. Right now I feel like I’m in a good spot, I’ve bounced back well. But there’s still more to take into account than just right now.”
