Clay Holmes’ dominance has surpassed Mariano Rivera’s level.
4-0 win over the Blue Jays“Just for the fact that it’s Mariano Rivera makes it pretty special,” Holmes said after throwing 1 ¹/₃ perfect innings to finish the game. “He’s a guy I grew up watching. What he’s done in this game, it’s pretty amazing. So just to be in the same category of just one little thing he’s done, it’s pretty cool. The defense has been great. It’s been fun to pitch for this team and catchers. It’s been a fun little run. I think all of us hope to keep it up.
Since then, Holmes has been nearly untouchable, allowing just 15 hits and three walks while striking out 33 on the way to breaking the franchise record.USA TODAY Sports Holmes’ slider has improved this season, but his bread and butter is his sinker, which has confounded hitters with its unpredictable movement.
