Martinez allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings, but received no decision Saturday at the Cardinals.
Martinez was taking Yu Darvish's (shoulder) turn in the rotation, and left with a three-run deficit, putting him on the hook for the loss. Fortunately, the Rangers scored four runs in the late innings to hand him a no decision. He'll try to make a better impression on team management in his next start Friday against the Red Sox.
