"Everything went pretty good, I tried to keep them off the bases for the most part," he said.

LHP David Holmberg, in his third start after starting the season in the bullpen, picked up his first win of the season by pitching five innings, allowing two runs on three hits. "We were hoping he could give us five (innings)," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said. "He did his job. He minimized the damage, and he did what he does, kept the ball down and gave us a chance." |

LHP David Holmberg got knocked around a bit Sunday in his second straight start but the soft-tossing southpaw managed to limit Detroit to just one run in his 3 2/3 innings of work. "Holmy gave us what he could give us," manager Rick Renteria said. "I know we got to use (RHP Anthony) Swarzak to kind of try to help him out. We went through that bullpen pretty good just to try to minimize damage." Holmberg's stay in the rotation is likely to end when the two injured Chicago starters -- RHP James Shields and LHP Carlos Rodon -- work their way back from rehab assignments. |

Holmberg was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. |
Holmberg was blown up in both of his previous two starts allowing 11 runs over 8.2 total innings. He will now be replaced in the rotation by Jared Lorenzen, who will take his turn in the rotation Monday. |

The Reds might skip Holmberg for Monday's start, instead using Michael Lorenzen. |
Manager Bryan Price was not committing to either pitcher for Monday's start. "Hard to say. I don't think we're ready to make a commitment one way or the other," Price said on Friday. Holmberg has a 15.19 ERA over his last three starts. |

Holmberg (1-4) was torched again Wednesday, giving up six runs on seven hits and two walks in just 3.2 innings against the Dodgers. |
Things are not going well for Holmberg, who simply doesn't look like an MLB-caliber stater. He has more walks than strikeouts, and after surrendering another three long balls Wednesday, he's given up an insane 10 homers in just 28.1 innings this year. Fantasy owners will be well served to steer clear even if he stays in the rotation for his next turn Monday against the Cubs. |

Holmberg (1-3) got touched up in Friday's loss to Arizona, giving up five runs on 11 hits and a walk while striking out just two over five innings. |
The young southpaw's strong start was fun while it lasted. After going 1-1 and posting a 3.06 ERA in his first three starts, he has given up 12 runs in seven innings in his past two. The long ball deserves much of the blame for Holmberg's woes. In his past two starts, he has surrendered more than twice as many homers, five, than he has recorded strikeouts, two. |
Thu Aug 13 2015 | 20:30 | Holmberg's start moved back to Saturday |
Holmberg's start has been moved back to Saturday, C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. |
Holmberg was initially expected to start Friday, but will instead throw Saturday with John Lamb joining the rotation for Friday's start. The 23-year-old southpaw has been impressive in three starts since joining the Reds, allowing just six runs over 17.2 innings. It appears he'll remain in the rotation moving forward, while Michael Lorenzen will be removed as he nears an innings limit. |

Holmberg fell to 1-1 despite a quality start Monday against San Diego, as he allowed two runs on six hits and three walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out five. |
Holmberg's ERA fell to 3.06 as he continues to hold his own in the rotation. He now has 12 strikeouts against nine walks, unimpressive peripheral numbers, but he has allowed just 13 hits in 17 innings and the 24-year-old should get every chance in the post-Johnny Cueto rotation for the Reds. |
