Martinez pitched seven innings and allowed one run on three hits in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs. He also struck out five and walked three.
A nearly three and a half hour rain delay is actually what knocked Martinez out of the game although there is a chance he wouldn't have pitched the eighth anyway because he did throw 97 pitches. The one run Martinez on Wednesday allowed was a solo homer. He's tossed up two bombs in the last two games, but overall opposing hitters are batting just .178 against Martinez. He will go for his fourth win in four starts on Tuesday against Arizona.
