Clay Holmes to Start Mets, Angels Finale Sunday in Los Angeles
Clay Holmes is scheduled to take the mound for the Mets on Sunday against Jack Kochanowicz and the Angels in Los Angeles. The game closes a three-game series, and the Mets are playing for a split before leaving town.
Holmes Against Kochanowicz
Two right-handed pitchers will meet in the finale. Holmes gets the ball for New York, while Kochanowicz starts for Los Angeles, giving the game a direct starter-to-starter angle at the center of the series finale.
That matchup gives the Mets a clear lane to reset the series after the first two games. If they get the split, they leave Los Angeles without losing ground across the three-game set.
Luis Torrens Stays In Place
Saturday brought a separate bit of Mets business when Luis Torrens signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract extension. He also stopped four out of seven runners attempting to steal in 2026, a number that shows how much value he has provided behind the plate.
Torrens gives New York stability at catcher while Holmes takes the mound with the series still alive. Juan Soto is part of the Mets side in the game, but the biggest immediate task belongs to Holmes and the pitching plan in the finale.
