After a strong outing from Marcus Stroman, Clay Holmes blew a save and the Yankees lost despite taking a lead into the ninth inning. He expressed his support to closer Clay Holmes and his manager, Aaron Boone after the game on social media.
, who have won 13 of 15 series to start their 2024 season, were stunned in the ninth inning of their opener against the Seattle Mariners on Monday night. Seattle put four runs on the board in the top of the final frame to take a 5-4 lead.
Meanwhile, Marcus Stroman saw his quality start -- his fourth of the season -- whisked away with no warning. Stroman called Holmes the, "best closer in baseball," and said he would, "run through a brick wall," for Boone. "Clay's been unbelievable. I think Clay's the best closer in baseball. I think it's very weak contact, essentially if they hit the ball harder in some of those plays we probably wouldn't be in this situation, so I think you just have to honestly really understand that. Clay's gonna continue to be incredible for us, not even a slight worry there. That's how baseball shapes out sometimes, just doesn't go your way.
