Clay Holmes

The Yankees fell to 0-6-1 in their last seven series. They haven’t won back-to-back games since four straight June 9-12.

The Yankees have lost 15 of their last 20 games. Nestor Cortes said he doesn’t think anyone is panicking inside the clubhouse.

The bullpen's lack of strikeouts and slower arm speed from the team's catchers were on full display on Wednesday night.

Holmes worked through a tough situation in the ninth inning, plus notes on bad news for Ron Marinaccio and Anthony Rizzo's big night.

Maybe it’s too soon to look far ahead, but someone’s got to do the closer's job, and Holmes has proved himself capable of holding it down.

Turns out, New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera knew what he was talking about when it came to relief pitching.

After suffering their share of ugly losses, Aaron Boone was more measured about the victory over Baltimore: "It feels like a good win."

Volpe went 2-for-4 in the win over the Mets and might have discovered what will get him out of his season-long slump.

The all-time saves leader, whose cutter is a pitch that some consider the best in baseball history, has a lot of respect for Holmes' sinker.

Also, Carlos Rodón is not close to making his Yankees debut.

A larger discussion surrounding Holmes may become necessary as the Twins rough up the All-Star closer to win 4-3.

Six players were essentially on make-or-break status at the outset of spring training camp. Here's where they stand.

The average MLB salary in 2018 was $4.52 million, so what can you put under the tree for a big leaguer who already has everything?

There were 21 players who made their debut with the Pirates this season. What, if any, future do they have with the franchise?

By pinch-hitting for starter Joe Musgrove in the top of the fifth, the Pirates were left with a depleted bullpen — and they blew a two-run lead to lose in the 15th inning.

The Pirates scored a ton of runs, but all that offense couldn’t overcome the side effects of some pregame decisions.

A spot start by rookie Clay Holmes is part of the Pirates' plan to make sure the starters stay fresh over the final weeks of the season.
