Martin (0-1) took the loss Friday against the Twins, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out five.

The Chicago right-hander was unable to prevent the White Sox's 18th consecutive loss, as he stumbled out the gate by allowing a 409-foot, two-run homer to Royce Lewis in the first inning. Lewis had Martin's number in this outing, as the Minnesota slugger later laced a two-run double in the third. Despite the rough 75-pitch performance, Martin should remain the White Sox rotation as Drew Thorpe (right flexor strain) was placed on the injured list Friday. He lines up to make his next start against the Athletics in Oakland next week.
