Braves' Grant Holmes Loses No-Hit Bid in Seventh Against White Sox in Chicago
Holmes retired 18 of the first 20 White Sox hitters and allowed only two walks in a rare no-hit bid for Atlanta.
On Aug. 20, 2026, Atlanta Braves pitcher Grant Holmes pitched a no-hitter through six innings against the Chicago White Sox in Chicago.
Holmes spent 10 years in the minors before his major league debut with the Braves on June 16, 2024. He has never pitched a complete game in the majors.
Colson Montgomery walked in the second inning and Drew Romo walked in the fifth, the only baserunners for the White Sox. The Braves led 2-0 in the top of the seventh.
The Braves have not recorded a no-hitter since Kent Mercker's 6-0 win over the Dodgers on April 8, 1994. Holmes's longest career effort remains 7 2/3 innings from April 14, 2025.
MLB has seen only one no-hitter this season: a combined effort by three Houston pitchers in a 9-0 victory over Texas on May 25.
