The Cup Series heads to the downtown streets of Chicago for the Grant Park 165
The New York Yankees relief pitcher was announced as one of the pitchers for the American League squad on Sunday night for the July 16 MLB All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas.
The Wiregrass has had several natives compete in the all-star game but who left the area in early childhood – notably MLB hall of famers Don Sutton and Monte Irvin among others. Holmes, who has had a couple of rough outings of late, but has been solid most of the season, admitted he was surprised at being selected, according to a New York Post website article Sunday night.
The 6-foot-5 hard-throwing right-hander started the season strong, earning a save in his first 13 opportunities and not allowing a run until May 20. However, since then he has blown four of 10 saves, including his last two prior to Sunday night, and had a 6.75 ERA. Holmes’ first batter was the Atlanta Braves’ Austin Riley, who earned a single to right field off a 2-1 pitch. However, Holmes got a ground ball from the ensuing hitter, the Colorado Rockies’ CJ Cron on a 0-1 pitch with American League third baseman Luis Arraez of the Minnesota Twins fielding it and throwing to second baseman Santiago Espinal of the Toronto Blue Jayes for a force out of Riley at second.
