"Holmes threw five hitless innings, striking out nine and walking just one Pirate. This run continues a productive spring training for Holmes. While at camp, he's logged 12.1 innings, each of them scoreless. He's allowed just three hits and recorded 16 strikeouts."
"If this version of Grant Holmes shows up in the regular season, he will be a nice piece in the Braves' starting rotation."
The Atlanta Braves lost 5-2 to the Pittsburgh Pirates in spring training, but Grant Holmes impressed with a dominant pitching performance. Holmes threw five scoreless, hitless innings while striking out nine batters and allowing just one walk. His strong outing continues an outstanding spring training where he has pitched 12.1 scoreless innings with only three hits allowed and 16 strikeouts. If Holmes maintains this level of performance during the regular season, he could become a significant contributor to the Braves' starting rotation. Additionally, Quinn Priester of the Milwaukee Brewers will begin the season on the injured list due to a shoulder nerve issue, and the Boston Red Sox signed left-hander Danny Coulombe to a one-year deal worth $1 million.
