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 Thursday, 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 making his major league debut with the Braves in 2024, yet has never pitched a complete game in the majors.
- Colson Montgomery walked with two outs in the second inning and Drew Romo walked with one out in the fifth, providing the only baserunners for the White Sox. Atlanta led 2-0 in the top of the seventh.
- The Braves last recorded a no-hitter when pitcher Kent Mercker defeated the Dodgers 6-0 at Los Angeles on April 8, 1994. Holmes's longest career effort remains 7 2/3 innings from 2025.
- Major League Baseball has recorded only one no-hitter this season: a combined effort by three Houston pitchers in a 9-0 victory over Texas on May 25. A solo no-hitter would be exceptionally rare.
