After two spring training starts, New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes has shown that the transition from reliever to starter may be no problem at all.

Across Clay Holmes’ first two spring training stars with the New York Mets, he’s looked dazzling. In his first appearance, he recorded three perfect innings. He followed up his stellar Mets debut with another three scoreless innings earlier today.

The Mets right-hander, who is lengthening as a starter after spending most of his career in the bullpen, is scheduled for three ups (meaning at least pitching into the third inning) on Saturday against the Astros at Clover Park, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Holmes said he would likely be capped around 50 pitches.
