Notches first career save Holmes earned the save against the Orioles on Saturday, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings during which he struck out one and didn't allow any hits or walks.
Impact Holmes recorded the final out of the eighth inning, escaping an Orioles threat during which they brought the potential tying run to the plate. With usual closer Aroldis Chapman having having pitched each of the past two days, manager Aaron Boone opted to leave Holmes in to close things out in the ninth. That proved to be a good call, as the right-hander got three quick outs for the first save of his career. Holmes recorded a career-best 12 holds in 2021 and has already picked up two this season, so he is clearly becoming a trusted bullpen arm for the Yankees. However, Chapman isn't in imminent danger of losing his ninth-inning role, so Holmes shouldn't be expected to find himself in many additional save situations moving forward.

Serves up game-winning homer Holmes (8-4) suffered the loss against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out one across one inning.
Impact Holmes was asked to handle the eighth inning with the scored tied 5-5. He immediately gave up a home run to Bo Bichette before retiring the next three batters in order. The right-hander was tagged with the loss when New York couldn't mount a comeback in the ninth. Despite the disappointing outcome, Holmes has been impressive since joining the Yankees in late July, posting a 1.73 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 32:3 K:BB over 26 innings. He has racked up five wins and six holds for New York.

Earns eighth win Holmes (8-3) pitched a perfect inning, striking out one batter to pick up the win over Minnesota on Monday.
Impact The right-hander pitched the top of the 10th inning for New York and retired the side in order while preventing the designated runner from crossing the plate. He was credited with the win as a result of Gary Sanchez driving home the winning run in the bottom of the frame. Holmes has earned five wins in 16 appearances since joining the Yankees in late July, and he has registered an excellent 2.04 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 21:1 K:BB across 17.2 frames during that stretch.

Takes loss Wednesday Holmes (6-3) was tagged with the loss against Toronto on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on two hits while striking out two over one inning.
Impact Both hits against the right-hander went for singles, but an error by Andrew Velazquez provided the extra base needed for Toronto to scratch out a run.

Earns win in extra innings Holmes (6-2) allowed a hit and struck out one in one inning to earn the win Friday versus Baltimore.
Impact The right-hander kept Baltimore off the board in the 11th inning, setting the stage for Giancarlo's walkoff single in the Yankees' half of the frame. Holmes has yielded only three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out 12 in 12.1 innings since he joined the Yankees at the trade deadline. He's added three wins and three holds in that span, although there's little chance he works his way into a more prominent role with Aroldis Chapman entrenched as the closer. Chad Green and Jonathan Loaisiga are more likely to get ninth-inning duties if Chapman falters.
