Martin entered the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. The 38-year-old quick work of the Red Sox, retiring all three batters he faced on 13 pitches to earn his first save of the season. The Rangers used Luke Jackson for the team's save opportunity on Friday but opted to utilize Martin after Jackson pitched in the team's first two games.
