Holmes labored through the first frame, giving up five runs. However, the righty settled in and surrendered just one additional tally over the next four innings.

He will carry a 4.34 ERA and 2-1 record into his next start against the Mariners on Wednesday afternoon.

Through five starts, Holmes is sporting a 3.42 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with a 21-11 K/BB ratio across 26 1/3 innings. The 30-year-old righty is a worthwhile option in deeper fantasy formats going into a rematch with the Phillies on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Holmes was good enough to keep the Marlins off the board over the first three frames of Monday's game. However, he just didn't have it the second time through the Marlins' order in the fourth, issuing two free passes and a three-spot on the scoreboard. Holmes has still been sharp overall out of the gate this season, recording a nice 3.32 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through his first four starts. He is in line to take the mound again Sunday night in Philadelphia.
