Martin struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to earn a save over Minnesota on Friday.
With the Rangers recently removing Joe Barlow from the closer's role, Martin saw his first save opportunity since April 11. He needed just 10 pitches to retire the Twins in order and finish off the 6-5 win. Martin's riding an 8.2-inning scoreless streak dating back to the start of June, lowering his season ERA to 3.12 through 26 frames. The 27-year-old has an 0-4 record with four holds and a save on the year.
