Martinez Clutches Save Despite Shaky Outing
by Jesse Garcia | Diamondbacks Correspondent | Wed, Aug 21st 10:23pm EDT
Justin Martinez managed to secure a save despite allowing a run in the Diamondbacks' 10-8 victory over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw 31 pitches, yielding two hits and a walk while striking out four over 1.2 innings. This performance, while effective in preserving the win, showcased some cracks in his otherwise stellar season, marked by a 1.89 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. His ability to strike out four batters continues to highlight his strong 11.21 K/9 rate, but the hits and walk allowed could be a slight concern for fantasy managers relying on him for pristine late-game performances. Martinez's role as a closer appears secure for now, but any increase in WHIP or ERA moving forward could prompt fantasy managers to monitor his outings more closely.
