Martin struck out one in an ideal inning to earn the save in Friday’s 6-4 win over the Dodgers.
Martin has allowed only one hit and one stroll whereas hanging out two over 4 scoreless innings within the majors this season. The 30-year-old right-hander is getting regular utilization for the reason that Cubs chosen his contract from Triple-A Iowa final Saturday. The Cubs’ bullpen is in flux at the moment since Daniel Palencia (lat), Caleb Thielbar (hamstring), Phil Maton (knee) and Hunter Harvey (triceps) are all on the injured record. Martin is one in all 4 pitchers to log a save for the Cubs this season, and solely Thielbar has a number of saves regardless of the workforce’s first-place standing within the NL Central. It’s unclear if Martin will probably be known as on once more for save possibilities within the close to time period, however he is pitched nicely sufficient to earn some extra seems within the late innings.
