Martinez (6-6) allowed three runs -- just two earned -- on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters through six innings during Thursday's loss to Philadelphia.
Martinez was out pitched by Aaron Nola on Thursday, and the St. Louis ace took a tough-luck loss. With a high-end 2.87 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 10.0 K/9 for the campaign, Martinez remains a go-to starter in all fantasy settings and is in the midst of the best season of his career. It's worth noting that his next start projects to be at Chase Field against the Diamondbacks, which is a difficult matchup. It will be a telling test for Martinez.
