MLB Note - Texas Rangers Martinez, Nick

Sep 23, 2017 - 8:30 AM RHP Nick Martinez (3-7) allowed four runs (three earned) and five hits in six innings in a 4-1 loss to the Oakland Athletics on Friday night at the Oakland Coliseum. He struck out six, walked one and gave up a two-run homer to A's rookie 1B Matt Olson in the second inning. "I felt great," Martinez said. "Just kind of one pitch that I thought was a good pitch but maybe at the wrong time. Other than that I thought we had a great game plan going into it." Martinez fell to 4-2 at the Coliseum for his career in eight games, including six starts.
