Carlos Martínez pitched Saturday afternoon on April 15. While it was not one of his best outings with him surrendering two earned runs in five and one-third innings pitched with eight walks, he did strike out nearly 37% of the batters he faced that day.

.@Tsunamy27 struck out 11 and walked 8 in 5.1 IP.
