White Sox's Davis Martin: Takes loss to Giants

Martin (0-2) took the loss to the Giants on Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out five in 4.1 innings.

Martin started out hot by striking out the side in the first inning, but walks would come back to hurt him in the third and fifth innings. Martin's issued multiple walks in four of five outings this season, but he's showing decent swing-and-miss stuff, striking out five batters in three of his four starts in August. The 27-year-old has held his own after missing all of last year due to Tommy John surgery, posting a 3.22 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB in 22.1 innings. He lines up to face the Tigers at home to begin next week.
