Braves: Holmes Sets RECORD with 15 K, But Loses to Rockies

Grant Holmes Shines with 15 Strikeouts, But the Braves Fall to the Rockies

Error en el proceso de traducción Holmes, visibly excited, described the moment as “special” after reaching 10 strikeouts in the fifth inning, a milestone in his career. Holmes’ performance was even more outstanding as he pitched five innings without allowing any hits or walks. However, a fielding and throwing error in the third inning allowed the Rockies to take the lead. Although the Braves tied the game in the sixth inning, a home run by Ryan McMahon in the seventh put the Rockies back in front.

It’s frustrating to waste a performance like that.

Matt Olson, Braves first baseman

The Braves manager, Brian Snitker, admitted that he did not expect such a dominant performance from Holmes, highlighting the surprise it generated in the team. Relievers Enyel De Los Santos and José Ruiz conceded seven runs after Holmes’ departure, further complicating the situation for the Braves. Despite the loss, Holmes’ performance reinforces confidence in the Braves’ rotation, which also includes Spencer Strider, Spencer Schwellenbach, Chris Sale, and Bryce Elder.

These guys are very good… I feel that if we continue like this, we will be in a very good position.

Grant Holmes

The Braves, after winning consecutive series against Milwaukee and Colorado, were unable to complete the sweep against the Rockies, missing the opportunity to build momentum before facing the New York Mets. The Mets, leaders of the National League East, will look to bounce back after being swept at home by Tampa Bay. The Braves will face the Mets in a three-game series that will begin Tuesday night. The Mets have a 13-game lead over the Braves in the division.

We have to turn the page and get ready to play on Tuesday.

Carlos Mendoza, Mets manager

The Braves will visit New York for a four-game series from June 23 to 26.

We have the opportunity to gain ground. It will be the first time we see them.
