Clay Holmes falters, blows save in tight contestJuly 27, 2024 | 02:44 AM

Clay Holmes allowed two hits and one earned run while striking out one in a brief outing, contributing to a blown save as the Yankees fell 9-7 to the Red Sox. Writer's Analysis: This performance marks Holmes's seventh blown save of the season, which will undoubtedly raise concerns among fantasy managers about his reliability in clutch situations. Despite maintaining a solid 2.88 ERA and a commendable strikeout rate of 9.5 K/9 over the season, his increasing number of blown saves and a WHIP of 1.30 suggest potential volatility. Owners might want to consider the risk of deploying Holmes in critical matchups, given these inconsistencies.
