Giants' Bats Silenced by Mets' Clay Holmes
San Francisco Giants only muster three hits as Clay Holmes dominates in New York Mets' 9-0 win.
There isn't much to say about the San Francisco Giants' offense these days. On Saturday, the bats were silenced by New York Mets starting pitcher Clay Holmes. Holmes only allowed three hits over seven innings as the Mets blasted Landen Roupp en route to a 9-0 win at Oracle Park.
But the Giants also received some concerning news about relief pitcher José Buttó before Saturday's game. He's going to be out between 2-4 months after having a blood clot removed from his right arm. With the Buttó news hanging over their heads, the Giants took the field, looking to see if they could knock off the Mets.
Roupp worked 4 2/3 innings, giving up seven hits, seven runs (six earned), walked one, and struck out seven. After his Saturday night outing, though, Roupp's ERA soared to 5. 06.
Reliever Ryan Borucki came on to take Roupp's place. In his 1 1/3 innings of work, Borucki gave up three hits, one run (earned), didn't walk anyone, and struck out one. The Mets scored three runs in the top of the third inning to take a 3-0 lead.
