This is just a case of today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boone said there were a few circumstances that led to him going to Holmes. Chicago\u2019s big right-handed hitters, Luis Robert and Jose Abreu, were coming up and the Yankees face a doubleheader on Sunday, so he was able to save Chapman with that in mind.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Clay-Holmes.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Clay Holmes\" class=\"wp-image-22366219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Clay-Holmes.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Clay-Holmes.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Clay-Holmes.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Clay-Holmes.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Clay Holmes<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s something that I feel like all of us down there are capable,\u201d Holmes said. \u201cHaving a chance to help the team win, whatever role that\u2019s in, whatever inning, I\u2019m just looking to go out there and put a zero up there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chapman hasn\u2019t blown a save in nine chances this season and owns a 2.63 ERA, but he has a high WHIP of 1.46 and has given up runs in four consecutive outings. He last pitched Tuesday, in a game he nearly blew against the Orioles by giving up three hits and an earned run in an inning of work.<\/p>\n<p>Holmes, meanwhile, has been close to spotless. He retired the final four batters of the game Saturday for his fourth career save, all coming this season. The outing extended his scoreless streak to 21 innings, the longest in the big leagues this season. It is also the longest by a Yankees reliever since David Robertson tossed 26 \u00b9\/\u2083 consecutive scoreless innings from September 2011 through April 2012.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been special, probably as good a reliever as there has been in the league I would think to this point,\u201d Boone said of Holmes, who has a 0.42 ERA and 0.69 WHIP through 21 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine [anyone] being any better.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
