Braves Struggle as Holmes Shines | Atlanta Braves News

Grant Holmes delivered a gem on the mound, tossing six innings, three hits, and six strikeouts while battling hard to keep the Phillies off balance — but it wasn’t enough. The Braves’ offense stalled again, failing to score against Jesús Luzardo’s complete-game masterpiece (12 Ks, 2 singles). The loss drops Atlanta in the season series to Philly and shrinks their division lead to six games. With offense ranking near the bottom of the league over the past two weeks, they couldn’t capitalize on Holmes’ strong start — including a 10-pitch streak of outs. The Phillies broke the scoreless tie in the 8th when Kyle Schwarber crushed a solo homer. Now, the Braves head to Tampa for a critical three-game set against the Rays — and with scoring struggles mounting, they’ll need to find answers fast or risk slipping further.
