Despite a bit of an early wobble and a whole lot of frustration against a familiar face, they held on for the W. Davis Martin’s outing started rough.

The righthander got tagged in the first inning, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks before things threatened to spiral. Enter Jairo Iriarte, who came on with two outs to bail out Martin, though not without a little extra drama, issuing a walk before punching out Kristian Robinson to close the door on the inning. Because Spring Training rules allow, Martin trotted back out for the second and looked much more like himself.

He worked around a one-out walk and then cruised through the third and fourth innings with minimal fuss, allowing just one additional free pass. His final line: 4 2/3 innings, two hits, two runs, four walks, and three strikeouts. The outing lands squarely in the “not great, not terrible” bucket.
