Brett Baty hit his second home run of spring training Thursday, a two-run homer off right-hander Miguel Ullola. It was a line drive over the right field fence that went nearly 110 MPH off the bat, which was encouraging to the Mets.
Overall, Holmes (who threw 42 pitches, including 27 for strikes) gave up one hit and one walk while striking out two as he faced an Astros lineup that included Jeremy Peña, Yordan Alvarez, and Christian Walker. His ERA in 6.0 spring innings is 0.00.
Holmes' cutter could unlock a new level of production, plus notes on Ryan Clifford and Vientos working on his defensive range.
