Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez allowed two runs on six hits in six innings of work in St. Louis' 5-2 win over the Phillies Wednesday.
Martinez cruised through the first three innings, allowing just three hits. Then in the fourth, Martinez surrendered a solo home run to Ryan Howard over the right field wall. Then in the fifth with runners on second and third, Odubel Herrera singled to right to bring home another run.
Martinez, now 3-0, lowered his ERA to 1.73 in 26 innings of work. He will look to keep rolling Monday against the Cubs.
