Mets Down Giants 9-0, Holmes Dominates in 7 Innings

Clay Holmes delivered a career‑high tying seven‑inning shutout as the Mets routed the Giants 9‑0 on Saturday, giving the team back‑to‑back wins for the first time since late March.

Holmes went 7 innings, allowing only three hits and striking out four while walking two, posting a 1.42 ERA and 61 strikes on 90 pitches. He followed a solid start against the Cardinals and steadied the Mets’ pitching after Nolan McLean’s inning.

Offensively, Bichette went 2‑for‑5, driving in a run, while Vientos added an RBI single and extended a four‑game hit streak. Their contributions helped the Mets build a 5‑0 lead that held through a five‑run frame.
