Martinez (4-5) allowed four runs on four hits and two walks across 6.1 innings in Monday's loss to the Reds. He struck out eight.
Martinez was excellent through six innings, but he unraveled after coming back out for the seventh and proceeded to load the bases with no outs before four men came around to score. While the outcome left something to be desired for fantasy owners, the right-hander displayed electric strikeout stuff again and has now whiffed 26 batters over his last 21.2 innings. This outing also ended a string of seven straight starts in which Martinez had allowed no more than three earned runs; he'll look to bounce back Saturday against the Phillies.
