Justin Martinez Shaky In Recording Third Save
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Justin Martinez recorded the save on Sunday in a 6-4 victory over the Braves, although it wasn't without some drama. The righty allowed four of the first five batters to reach base (one HBP, two walks, one double) with one run coming in to score, but was able to mix in a ground ball double play and a lineout with the tying runs on base to end the game. It was the first earned run allowed of the year, although he allowed an unearned run to score on a wild pitch the night before in a game that he was charged with the loss. The 6-foot-3 hurler was dominant to start the year, registering a 1:10 BB:K over seven innings pitched, but after a bout of arm fatigue cost him a week of action, the Dominican fireballer has a 3:1 BB:K over the three innings logged since his return to the mound. Hopefully this isn't a sign of an injury, but it is definitely a situation to monitor, as the job should be his alone with A.J. Puk on the injured list.
