Martinez allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven across five innings during a 9-5 loss Thursday against Seattle. He did not factor into the decision.
Six of the first seven batters Martinez faced Thursday reached safely, leading to three runs. He then retired 13 of the next 14 batters with the lone hit being a solo homer by Jarred Kelenic in the fourth. The 25-year-old righty has been shelled in each of his last three starts, allowing 16 runs and six homers over 13.2 innings and watching his season ERA rise from 4.37 to 6.10.
