In a season gone wrong for the Red Sox, reliever Chris Martin has done just about everything right.
The right-hander retired the side in order to lower his ERA to an MLB-best 1.05, earn the save, and cement a 3-2 Red Sox win over the White Sox on Friday.
Martin hasn’t allowed a run in his last 20 games (July 28) – the sixth-longest streak in franchise history – and has allowed just one in his last 37. His ERA was 2.08 in mid-June, and it hasn’t gone above 2 since.
He’s surrendered just two home runs, eight walks, and six earned runs in 51.
