Clay Holmes left Friday's game against the Athletics in the top of the sixth inning after trainers came to the mound and took him out with a left hamstring injury.
Holmes had just allowed a one-out single to Jacob Wilson when the Mets' starter appeared to be stretching and reaching toward his leg. Trainers met him on the mound and decided to remove him from the game.
The right-hander had thrown 81 pitches over 5.1 innings before exiting. He allowed one run on five hits with three strikeouts and three walks, a sharp line for a night that ended with an injury concern the Mets will have to track after Friday.

The outing was still unfolding when Holmes left, making it a developing story for the Mets as they wait to learn how serious the hamstring issue might be. For now, the immediate question is whether he can take his next turn after leaving early in the opener against the Athletics.
