That game had to make Cubs fans of a certain age remember games of the 60’s and 70’s. The Reds got a complete game with one run allowed. That’s going to win a game, what, 90 percent of the time? Probably more. Five hits, no walks. Tough break, sir. He allowed one double and it cost him. At 34 years of age, Nick Martinez is out there stating a case for being in the Reds’ rotation in 2025. With a 3.10 ERA and 3.21 FIP, this was easily the best year of his career. He signed a two-year deal with the Reds before the season and they got terrific value out of him.
