Martinez, who allowed a run in three of his first four innings, ended up going eight deep (tying a career high) to earn his 12th win of the year. He worked around additional trouble by limiting the Pirates to two hits in nine chances with a runner in scoring position.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Third time's the charm: After stranding five runners with a pair of inning-ending outs earlier in the night, Molina finally delivered in the fifth. His sacrifice fly tied the score at 3 and set up Piscotty's go-ahead RBI single to follow.
