Martinez walked one and struck out two over a scoreless 10th inning to pick up the save in a 7-6 extra-inning win over Cleveland.
Ryan Thompson was unable to close out the Guardians in the ninth, setting up a chance for Martinez in the extra frame. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo had used Kevin Ginkel and A.J. Puk prior to Thompson, so the manager went with Martinez, who has a 2.01 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 49.1 innings. Thompson has been shaky in three consecutive save chances, which leaves the Diamondbacks' closer situation in flux.
