Martin entered the ninth inning with a 4-3 Rangers lead which was quickly wiped away by a J.P. Crawford single and Cal Raleigh double. After Adam Frazier moved Raleigh to third base with a bunt, Martin intentionally walked Julio Rodriguez and Ty France when Carlos Santana came through with a walk-off sacrifice fly. After allowing three runs in his previous appearance, it is possible the Rangers look to someone new to close games.
