The Atlanta Braves continued spring play on Thursday, losing 5-2 to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Despite the score, it was a fantastic day for Grant Holmes, who got the start and turned in a lights-out performance. 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.
