Martinez (1-0) got the win in his first start of the season Saturday, holding the Braves to two runs on four hits while striking out five in six innings of work.
Martinez's 2016 debut was aided by the fact he drew one of the worst teams in baseball, but overall it was a solid outing. Known for his above-average walk-rate, it was concerning to see Martinez walk two of the first three batters he faced on the night, but he settled down and only allowed one free pass the rest of the way. Martinez will have a better test next time out on Friday when he takes the hill at home against the first-place Reds.
