Picks up win Thursday Holmes (5-1) earned the win over the Royals on Thursday, walking two batters and striking out one over one scoreless inning.
Impact With neither team able to produce a run through eight innings, Holmes was brought in for the top of the ninth. He threw only eight of 18 pitches for strikes and walked two batters but was able to escape without allowing any runs. He was then credited with the victory when Aaron Judge hit a walkoff blast in the bottom of the frame. Since an uncharacteristic collapse against the Reds on July 12 during which he gave up four runs without retiring a batter, Holmes has subsequently completed five scoreless outings. If there's any concern about the All-Star closer, it's that he's walked at least one batter in six of his past seven appearances after issuing only five free passes across his first 37 outings of the season.

Takes first loss Holmes (4-1) gave up four earned runs on two hits, a walk, and two hit batters without recording an out to take the loss in a 4-3 defeat to the Reds on Tuesday.
Impact Holmes has been one of the most dominant relievers in all of baseball this season, but he struggled immensely with his control in this outing, hitting Tyler Stephenson to load the basis and then later hitting Kyle Farmer to give up his second run of the inning. After Holmes was pulled from the game, he was responsible for the two runners who came in to score on a Jonathan India single off Wandy Peralta. Prior to this appearance, Holmes had only given up two earned runs all season. If he can bounce back soon, he should maintain his hold on the closer role in New York.

Can't convert save Saturday Holmes was charged with a blown save against the Red Sox on Saturday as a result of allowing one hit and one walk over 1.1 scoreless innings. He struck out one batter.
Impact Holmes entered the contest with two outs and a runner on second base while the Yankees were up by one run in the eighth inning. He walked Xander Bogaerts and gave up a single to Alex Verdugo, allowing Boston to tie the score. Holmes then retired Trevor Story and retired the side in order in the ninth, but Boston pulled out the win in the 10th frame. The blown save was just the second in 18 chances for Holmes on the season, and he's been exceptional overall with a minuscule 0.46 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 40:6 K:BB over 39.1 innings.
