Clay Holmes struggled early in the game against the Cardinals, allowing three earned runs before finding his rhythm and retiring ten of the next eleven batters. Notably, he was struck by a line drive yet managed to complete six innings, contributing to the Mets' 9-3 win. The team's offense rallied in the fifth inning, boosting Holmes' confidence. Additionally, Pete Alonso was recognized as NL Player of the Month after an impressive start to the season, providing further context to the Mets' successful outing.
"It's a team that puts the ball in play a lot, I am a contact guy, so it really just helped me trust the defense and let them work."
"I think the offense took the pressure off me, them responding the way they did."
"It marked the second time this season the former reliever managed to work through six innings."
"Pete Alonso earned his recognition after posting a 1.131 OPS over 31 games that included seven homers and 28 RBIs."
