Grant Holmes on a Roll, Strikes Out 10 on Saturday Against Nats
Atlanta Braves right-hander Grant Holmes had a third straight strong start on Saturday in his outing at Truist Park against the division-rival Washington Nationals in his team's 2-0 shutout loss. Despite losing his second game of the 2026 season, Holmes made his fantasy managers happy, allowing two earned runs on six hits (two homers) while walking two and striking out a season-high 10 in five innings of work. The 30-year-old veteran allowed two solo home runs to Washington, but otherwise, he was strong, generating 18 swings and misses on 87 total pitches. Since allowing a season-high six runs (five earned) on May 1 against the Colorado Rockies at hitter-friendly Coors Field, Holmes has given up just four earned runs on 12 hits (three homers) while walking seven and fanning 19 in 15 innings in his last three starts. He has gone more than five innings just four times in his 10 starts this year, but Holmes has allowed three or fewer runs in nine of his appearances for Atlanta, and he now holds a 3.78 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 48:24 K:BB in 52 1/3 frames. Consider him when looking for a matchup-based streamer down the road.
