Clay Holmes will seek his first win with the New York Mets (7-3) when he faces the Miami Marlins (5-5) on Tuesday afternoon.
It’s been a mixed bag for Holmes, who was an All-Star closer for the crosstown rival Yankees before signing to start with the Mets. He has a 2.89 ERA and 3.17 FIP, but hasn’t kept runners off the bases. Too many hits and walks have kept him from completing a full five innings in both of his starts.
The Marlins, meanwhile, have a new attitude with new manager and former Dodgers coach Clayton McCullough.
