Rangers pitcher Nick Martinez looked sharp in his major-league debut, but had to settle for a no-decision in a 5-4 defeat to Tampa Bay.

Martinez didn't befit from an early three-run advantage, surrendering a solo home run to Yunel Escobar in the third and a two-run home run to Matt Joyce in the fourth. He allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings pitched.

He became the first Rangers starter to last six innings and the first to post a quality start. He tossed 85 pitches, 49 of which were called for strikes. It remains uncertain if the 23-year-old will stay in the majors for another start or if he'll be sent down to Double-A Frisco.
