Clay Holmes to Make Cubs Debut Against Royals

Clay Holmes is scheduled to make his debut for the Chicago Cubs on Saturday night as they face the Kansas City Royals. This comes after the Cubs secured a victory the previous night, aiming for their sixth straight win.

Holmes, who has a record of 4-4 and a 2.39 ERA, was acquired from the New York Mets along with outfielder Tyrone Taylor. He has been sidelined since May 15 due to a broken leg and has made only nine starts this season. His performance against the Royals includes a 2-2 record with three saves and a 5.28 ERA over 11 appearances.

The Cubs currently lead the NL wild-card standings with a record 19 games above .500. In their last game, Seiya Suzuki and Alex Bregman contributed significantly to the team's offense. Meanwhile, the Royals are looking to bounce back after two consecutive losses, with rookie Carter Jensen recently hitting his 16th home run.
