Holmes allowed a walk and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save against the Rockies on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Holmes was asked to protect a 3-0 lead in the ninth frame and did so on 19 pitches. The 31-year-old rebounded from a blown save in his last chance Sunday and has registered six scoreless outings in eight August appearances. On the season, he has 27 saves to go along with a 2.77 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 60:16 K:BB across 52 innings.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone indicated Tuesday that he still plans for Holmes to be his primary closer, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Boone was asked about a potential closer-by-committee and said he expects Holmes to be the guy "a lot of nights." The skipper added that he could be more open now than he has been to using Holmes earlier in the game if he feels the matchups are right. Holmes leads all of baseball with 10 blown saves this season and has blown six of his last 13 opportunities. His overall numbers -- a 2.88 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB in 50 innings -- are still quite good, and Boone reiterated Tuesday that he believes Holmes is throwing the ball well and he expects him to be successful moving forward. It's not exactly a full-throated endorsement, but certainly Holmes still looks like the favorite to lead the club in saves the rest of the way. If Boone does eventually make a change, Luke Weaver, Tommy Kahnle, Michael Tonkin and Mark Leiter could all potentially be in the mix for saves.

Holmes was charged with a blown save in Sunday's loss to the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three over an inning.

EDGE Analysis

Holmes entered trying to preserve a 1-0 lead and was unable to do so. He allowed a one-out double to Colt Keith, who would come around to score on a base-hit from Jace Jung to send the game into extras. Since July 5, Holmes has six blown saves to his seven saves, and he leads all of baseball with 10 blown saves this season. On a positive note, he does have multiple strikeouts in each of his last four appearances and is still tied for sixth in baseball with 26 saves. For the year, Holmes owns a 2.88 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB in 50 innings.

Holmes earned the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Tigers, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Holmes earned a save against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two batters over 1.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

New York carried an 8-3 lead into the eighth frame before reliever Mark Leiter surrendered three runs on three hits and allowed the tying run to come to the plate in the form of Corey Seager. Holmes entered at that point and got Seager to ground out to squelch the threat, and the closer then began the ninth with two straight punchouts. However, he almost let things get away from him, as Holmes proceeded to issue two straight walks followed by an Adolis Garcia RBI single. Texas' rally ended up falling just short when the next batter, Leody Taveras, grounded out. Holmes thus established a new career high with 25 saves, though he's also blown a career-worst nine saves on the season.

Holmes earned a save against the Angels in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

Holmes had little trouble protecting a three-run, ninth-inning lead, retiring the side in order on 13 pitches. The right-hander had blown four of his previous six save chances coming in, though he had allowed just two earned runs over 7.1 frames during that span. Holmes leads the majors with nine blown saves on the campaign, but his numbers have been otherwise acceptable, as he has a 2.70 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 49:12 K:BB across 46.2 innings.

Holmes blew his ninth save of the season in Sunday's win against the Blue Jays, striking out one batter in two-thirds of an inning. He wasn't charged with a run and did not allow a hit or a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Holmes came on in the eighth inning with a one-run lead and the bases loaded with one out. He allowed a run to score on a sacrifice fly before striking out Addison Barger to end the inning. There wasn't much Holmes could have done to avoid the blown save, but he has now failed to convert four of his past six save chances and leads MLB with nine blown saves. Even with those hiccups, the 31-year-old owns a 2.76 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB in 45.2 innings this year while converting 23 of 32 save opportunities.

Holmes struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Holmes was called up with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and struck out George Springer to earn a one-out save. The 31-year-old has rebounded from a rough patch of three consecutive blown saves by converting back-to-back chances on just 11 total pitches. On the season, he is 23-for-31 in save chances with a 2.80 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 46:12 K:BB across 45 innings.

Holmes earned the save in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies, working around one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Protecting a one-run lead, it looked like Holmes could be in trouble again after Kyle Schwarber led off the ninth with a single. However, he would get Austin Hays to fly out before coaxing a game-ending, double-play ball off the bat of Bryce Harper. The 31-year-old Holmes had blown three straight save opportunities prior to Wednesday, including a 26-pitch appearance Tuesday. Despite his recent inconsistency, Holmes still sports a solid 2.82 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP and 45:12 K:BB across 44.2 innings this season while converting 22 of 30 save chances.
