Carlos Martinez Earns Save Number Eight on Sunday
5 years agoSt. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez picked up his eighth save of the season on Sunday, allowing just a walk in a scoreless ninth inning. Martinez faced four batters, throwing 19 pitches, 11 for strikes. He notched a strikeout and lowered his ERA to 3.65. After a brief cold spell, it looks like Martinez is back at it. He should have a key role in the Cardinals bullpen through the trade deadline, but the Cardinals could acquire a closer to take his place.
