Holmes Has Another Career Day But Braves Bats, Bullpen Flop Against Angels

Grant Holmes delivered another career game, striking out 10 batters, but the Atlanta Braves fell to the Los Angeles Angels, 4-0.

Holmes pitched six scoreless innings, allowed three hits and three walks in the double-digit-strikeout effort. His 27 swinging strikes, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman, are the most by a Braves pitcher not named Spencer Strider going back to 2008.

It's the second career game of 10 strikeouts or more for the 29-year-old righty.

Holmes attributed his ability to locate the slider, along with his success with his cutter, to reaching this new level of play on the mound.
