Clay Holmes faced challenges during a game against the Pirates, allowing two home runs that ended the Mets' three-game winning streak. Despite struggling with his sinker, Holmes pitched six innings, giving up four earned runs but managing to keep the game competitive. The Mets' offense lacked efficiency, finishing without extra-base hits and failing to capitalize on scoring chances. This game marked the first time this season without star player Juan Soto in the lineup, further hampering their scoring ability.
"Overall, I thought his sinker wasn't there today," manager Carlos Mendoza said after the Mets finished 4-2 on the homestand but fell short in their attempt to sweep a fourth series this season. "There were a lot of balls in the air, but he was still able to give us six innings and keep us there."
"Some tough hops there," Holmes said. "I was losing grip of the ball."
