V-Mart goes 1-for-4 in rehab start

The switch-hitting slugger went 1-for-4 in his first competitive action since being placed on the 15-day disabled list on May 19 with left knee inflammation. He delivered a sharp RBI single in the fourth inning but swung at the first pitch and popped out with the bases loaded in the seventh.

Batting righty against Pawtucket left-hander Henry Owens, Martinez stepped to the plate with two outs and a runner on second in the fourth. After taking two pitches, he lined a fastball into left field to drive home the runner.

Martinez also flied out to center in the first inning and struck out on a high fastball to lead off the sixth.
