So Corbin Martin, who this time last week I said was definitely worth having a look at in his second start....wasn’t, so much. To be fair, half of the innings he pitched, the second and the fourth, were quite good—he only needed 23 pitches to get through those innings. The first inning and the third, though, were, well, problematic.
Martin surrendered a leadoff single to right to Giants leadoff hitter Mike Yastzremsi to begin the game, but two fly balls to right later, it looked like he was on his way. But, as sometimes happens with him apparently, he lost the strike zone for a couple of ABs, walking Brandon Belt on five pitches and then Evan Longoria on four, loading the bases.
