Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez didn't factor into the decision in his first start of the season Sunday, surrendering two earned runs on four hits and two walks in six innings while striking out eight in his team's 7-5, 11-inning win over the Reds.
Martinez was making his second appearance of the season, as he was used in a relief capacity on Opening Night one week ago. He was mostly dominant in Sunday's start, though he did serve up solo home runs in the second and fifth innings.
Martinez is slated to face the Reds again Saturday.
