NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� Clay Holmes left the New York Mets’ 4-0 loss the Athletics with one out in the sixth inning on Friday night because of left hamstring tightness.
鈥淗opefully, we鈥檙e in a good spot. It doesn鈥檛 seem too major,鈥� Holmes said. 鈥淚鈥檓 pretty optimistic with it and I feel like I鈥檒l be able to make my next start, but 鈥檛il we kind of wake up tomorrow and see where we鈥檙e at tomorrow, we don’t really know.”
With the Mets trailing 1-0, New York manager Carlos Mendoza and an athletic trainer went to the mound after Jacob Wilson’s single. Holmes left with the trainer and was replaced by Tobias Myers.
鈥淗e doesn’t seem too concerned,鈥� Mendoza said. 鈥淗e’s saying that he got to a weird position and he felt a little tight there. But the more testing that they’re doing there, the better that he feels. So we just got to wait and see how he wakes up tomorrow and see what we got.鈥�
Holmes allowed one run and five hits with three strikeouts and three walks. The 33-year-old right-hander entered with a 2-0 record and has a 1.50 ERA in three starts.
A former New York Yankees closer, Holmes agreed to a as a free agent in December 2024. He led the club last year with 12 wins, 31 starts and a 3.53 ERA.
