Holmes (9-5) surrendered one run and six hits over five innings with two strikeouts and a walk for his first win in five starts since beating Atlanta on June 25.

Clay Holmes limited the Giants to one run in five innings in a duel of All-Stars against Logan Webb, sending the Mets to their fifth straight win.

The Mets have been chosen as underdogs in 29 games this year and have walked away with the win 11 times (37.9%) in those games.

Logan Webb took the mound at Oracle Park on a frigid Friday night with an opportunity to spell the relievers, to keep them rested for the looming tasks at hand. Specifically, the bullpen’s multi-inning relievers. He has proven himself capable, more often than not, of pitching deep into ballgames.

Francisco Lindor, who broke out of an 0-for-30 slump Wednesday, homered and went 3-for-5 with two RBIs as the Mets kicked off a six-game West Coast road trip with their sixth win in a row.
