Justin Martinez Seals the Deal in Tight Victory
by Matthew Adam | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Tue, Aug 13th 6:32am EDT
Justin Martinez notched a save in the Diamondbacks' narrow 5-4 win over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed one hit and zero runs across an inning of work, without recording any strikeouts. Martinez's latest outing, while not flashy, was effective enough to secure his third save of the season. Despite a solid 1.89 ERA and a decent WHIP of 1.20, his lack of strikeouts in this appearance might raise some eyebrows among fantasy managers used to his 10.7 K/9 rate. However, his consistent performance in high-leverage situations should keep him relevant in leagues that value saves and holds, though his fantasy ceiling might be capped if he can't maintain his strikeout numbers.
