Braves lose, waste Holmes' 15-strikeout effort
Briefly

Grant Holmes had a standout performance, achieving 15 strikeouts in his first game crossing the 10-strikeout mark, although it ended in a disappointing 10-1 loss for the Braves against the Rockies. Despite pitching five hitless innings, an error led to a run during the third inning. The Braves tied briefly but could not maintain momentum after a seventh-inning home run. Manager Brian Snitker acknowledged the team's fluctuating performance but expressed optimism for future games, particularly with a strong pitching roster that includes Holmes and Spencer Strider.
It sucks to waste that start from him," Braves first baseman Matt Olson said.
I didn't see that coming," said Braves manager Brian Snitker, adding that Holmes' strong start was not the only surprise.
We're starting to click here and get this thing rolling," Snitker said.
Those guys are really good," Holmes said about the Braves' pitching rotation.
