Holton allowed a walk and a double within the first three hitters he faced, handing the A's a quick 1-0 lead. However, he retired four of the next five batters he faced, escaping a one-out hit-by-pitch in the second thanks to catcher Dillon Dingler nailing Henry Bolte attempting to steal second base. Holton sports a 3.10 ERA through 43 relief outings and three opening assignments this season.

It wasn't the cleanest save we've ever seen as Holton allowed two hits, including one that scored the inherited runner on second base to begin the inning. The Cubs ended up bringing the winning run to home plate with the score at 8-6 in the 10th, but Holton induced a game-ending groundout off the bat of Carson Kelly to end the threat. The save was Holton's first of the season, and he lowered his ERA to a solid 3.05 mark through 42 appearances on the campaign.
