Carlos Martinez @ the Reds

7 Innings, 4 hits, 0, runs 11 Ks

He twice struck out 2 Reds to get out of jams - Bases loaded 1 out in the 2nd and a man on third with 1 out in the 4th.

My favorite parts - He only did the "almost fall down and throw it 100mph" thing once. His 2 seamer lived at 94. His slider was breaking at a gorgeous 45 degree angle away from right handers. His new for this season 88 mph cutter was making lefties look foolish.

what a great day.

Unfortunately his history suggests that in his next start he will give up 3 earned runs in the first inning and have to sit by the 5th - But today I feel good about our number one starter
