Hochman: Martinez hits his stride at perfect time

Back on the field where he just froze numerous hitters, Carlos Martinez mingled with seemingly the sole soul with comparable freezing powers … Elsa from “Frozen.”

Yes, it was family day after Saturday’s Cards-Phillies game, and sure enough, a woman dressed as the cryokinetic Disney princess shared the field with the Redbirds, Fredbird, a lifesize Minion from “Minions” ... and Carlos’ minions — his two young children.

Martinez had just thrown his first-ever complete game — a shutout, no less. Yet there he was, tallying more Ks, tossing a toy ball past his toddler’s bat.
