Nick Martinez turned in a stellar performance in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed just one earned run on five hits and zero walks while striking out three over eight innings. Despite the loss, Martinez's outing was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to control the game and limit base runners, which is reflected in his impressive season-long WHIP of 1.03 and ERA of 3.10. His low strikeout count for the game does align with a modest season K/9 rate of 7.3, indicating that while he may not rack up fantasy points via strikeouts, his efficiency and ability to minimize damage make him a reliable option in most fantasy formats. This performance, albeit in a loss, should keep fantasy managers confident in his role as a steady starter.
