Rangers pitcher Nick Martinez bounced back with a sharp outing, but was outdueled by Hisashi Iwakuma and the Mariners for the loss Sunday afternoon. The right-hander gave up two runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings of a 5-1 defeat.

Martinez owns a 4.44 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP. He will make his next start Saturday against the Angels in Los Angeles.
