I really think "5 t0 0" is fair. We can't really count as a question a question he didn't ask but one think he would probably have asked, and rule out a question one believe he would not have asked if. We are counting the questions, but here you are changing the count based on your belief of his intentions. He didn't just ask, he fact-checked (so even for rules was on Clinton's side), he replied back. About the constitutionality of stop and frisk, it's not a fact-check, it's a debate he's having (see Giuliani in new york times), and he's interrupting.
I don't know what is the intention of someone that on first debate in front of millions people prepare at least 3 hard questions for a candidate, and is prepared to debate on that, and 0 or 1 for the other. He come here biased, it's strange to say he was more fair than it seems based on what he did not do but we assume he would have the fairness to do on other circumstances.

What are the five that you count?

4 direct, tough, prepared questions about the "the birther issue", "the Irak war he supported", "Hillary's presidential look" and "his tax return". And zero for Clinton.
Then, not exactly a question, but he forced him to answer to "Stop-and-frisk was ruled unconstitutional in New York, because it largely singled out black and Hispanic young men", because that seemt to imply "you can't do stop and frisk", "stop and frisk is racist", or "stop and frisk is unconstitutional". In fact it would have a little better as a question. And in fact that should have been Clinton that is stopped when she said "Stop and frisk is unconstitutional", because that is false, and not what Holt was saying.
