ATLANTA — As Greg Holland’s sideways outings over the past month grew more frequent, evidence of his issues became more obvious. Colorado’s closer lost control of his best pitch. The Rockies’ next step is figuring out how to fix him.
“We’re in the ‘ah’ stage, but not that ‘ah-ha’ stage yet,” manager Bud Black said Sunday, less than 24 hours after pulling Holland from the ninth inning for the second time in a week but just the second time this season.
On Saturday night Holland gave up a two-run homer to the Braves’ Matt Adams that turned a 7-4 Rockies lead into a one-run headache.
