The 29-year-old southpaw allowed an infield single in the opening inning but faced the minimum after inducing an inning-ending double play ball. He returned for a second frame though and that’s where trouble ensued as Nick Gonzales belted a solo homer to start the inning and two batters later Jared Triolo added a two-run blast to center field. After two absolutely brilliant seasons in the Tigers’ bullpen, Holton has been very pedestrian in 2025 — posting a troublesome 4.72 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 30/8 K/BB ratio over 34 1/3 innings. The biggest change is that he has already served up eight home runs. He allowed seven and nine, respectively, over each of the previous two seasons.

It’s not often that the 28-year-old southpaw struggles, but he wasn’t at his best in this one. Pithing with the Tigers trailing 1-0 in the sixth inning he gave up a pair of infield singles to Austin Slater and Edgar Quero before serving up a game-changing three-run homer to Michael A. Taylor. Holton now sports an underwhelming 4.39 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a 24/8 K/BB ratio over 26 2/3 innings on the season.
