Martinez’s Rough Night for Rays | Tampa Bay Rays News

Nick Martinez’s rare rough outing left the Rays reeling as he surrendered six runs in under four innings, marking his shortest start and worst performance of the season — a stark contrast to his usual deep, efficient outings. Despite feeling fine physically and mentally, Martinez struggled with control and wild pitches, while the Blue Jays capitalized with timely hits and a Kirk homer.

Manager Kevin Cash remained optimistic, trusting Martinez’s resilience to bounce back, while Jesse Scholtens stepped in to deliver four solid innings and stabilize the bullpen.
