Rays' Nick Martinez: Logs quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
Martinez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-6 win over the Padres, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.
Martinez entered the sixth inning with a 2-1 lead before allowing a two-run homer to Ty France. The veteran hurler still notched his fourth quality start in eight turns since the All-Star break and owns a 3.72 ERA over that span despite two six-run outings. He'll carry a 2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 91:22 K:BB across 153.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Rangers next week.

Rays' Nick Martinez: Rocked for six runs in loss
Rotowire
Martinez (12-4) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out five across 3.2 innings.
The Rays needed a long outing from Martinez after the team leaned heavily on its bullpen during the previous four-game series against the Orioles. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, Martinez didn't have his best stuff Tuesday, yielding two runs in the first, third and fourth innings while running his pitch count up to 82 (56 strikes, six whiffs). It was the first time this season that the veteran right-hander failed to complete four innings in a start and the third time in his last four outings that he's given up at least four runs. Martinez will take a 3.05 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 141.2 innings into his next start, lined up for this weekend against the Orioles at Camden Yards.

Rays' Nick Martinez: Gives up four homers in loss
Rotowire
Martinez (10-3) took the loss against the White Sox on Friday, allowing six runs on seven hits while striking out two across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
Martinez had not allowed a home run in two starts prior to Friday's outing. However, that trend did not continue against the White Sox, as the four homers Martinez allowed established a career-worst mark that resulted in all six of Chicago's runs. The right-hander's streak of allowing two earned runs or fewer ended at five games, but he still has stellar numbers for the year with a 2.77 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 123.1 innings. Martinez is slated to face the Rockies on the road next week.

Rays' Nick Martinez: Earns win despite zero strikeouts
Rotowire
Martinez (9-2) came away with the win against Toronto on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over six scoreless innings. He did not strike out a batter.
Monday marked the fifth start in Martinez's career that he did not record a strikeout, with the last instance taking place when he was a member of the Rangers against the Mariners on Aug. 1, 2017. The lack of punchouts didn't matter for the veteran right-hander, who came away with his 10th quality start of the season, and he has allowed one earned run in three of his last four appearances. His outing in Toronto brought his ERA down to 2.59 across 111.1 innings, which is sixth-best in the majors among qualified starters. Martinez is slated to take on the Guardians at home this weekend.
Martinez (8-2) earned the win Friday against the Mariners after allowing two runs on four hits and a walk across 5.1 innings, striking out one.
Martinez gave up a solo shot to Cole Young, his 11th of the year, in the top of the fifth inning, but that would be the only run the right-hander allowed. Martinez has allowed just one earned run in each of his past three starts, posting a blistering 1.65 ERA across 16.1 frames over that stretch. His next start should come against the Blue Jays on the road on Monday, July 20.
Martinez did not factor into the decision in Friday's 3-1 win over the Astros, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Martinez was cruising until he yielded a solo homer to Yordan Alvarez in the sixth inning, subsequently departing in a 1-1 tie after allowing a single to the next batter he faced. While he hasn't been able to notch a quality start in either outing, the 35-year-old has yielded just one earned run while pitching into the sixth in both of his past two starts. He'll take a 2.61 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 61:18 K:BB across 100 innings this season into a home matchup with the Yankees next week.
Martinez (7-2) earned the win against the Diamondbacks on Friday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with three strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Martinez surrendered a solo homer in the first inning but cruised from there, throwing 62 of 85 pitches for strikes and falling one out shy of a quality start. Other than a six-run blowup June 3, the 35-year-old has allowed three earned runs or fewer in 15 of 16 outings this season. He'll carry a 2.66 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB across 94.2 innings into a road matchup with the Royals next week.

Rays' Nick Martinez: Delivers another quality start
Rotowire
Martinez did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings.
Martinez threw 57 of his 88 pitches for strikes while recording his fifth quality start in his last seven appearances. The veteran right-hander was hurt by extra-base damage, as three of the four hits he allowed went for extra bases, including a solo homer by CJ Abrams in the sixth inning. Martinez exited in line for the loss before Tampa Bay rallied late to erase the deficit and ultimately secure the victory. The 35-year-old continues to provide steady production and will carry a 2.73 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB into his next scheduled start at home against Arizona.
