Martinez logged six innings Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight. He did not factor into the decision during the Cardinals' 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Martinez finished the night with exactly 200 strikeouts on the year while punching out at least seven batters for the seventh time in nine starts. The right-hander now holds a 3.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 9.5 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 over 189 innings. He'll carry those numbers into a favorable clash with the Reds on Thursday.
