Martinez Silences Critics, Leads Rays

Nick Martinez is rewriting the script for Tampa Bay’s season, leading the Rays to the best record in the AL with his otherworldly pitching. Once doubted, he’s now fifth in the Cy Young race, tossing seven innings, two earned runs, zero walks, five strikeouts against the Angels — and doing it consistently. In all 11 starts, he’s allowed two runs or fewer, with the Rays winning nine. His 1.62 ERA, 5-1 record, and deep outings are turning heads. No overpowering fastball? Not a problem — he’s mastered the art of getting hitters to chase and hit weak contact. The Rays are winning because of him, and the Cy Young chatter is real.
