Latest from Rotoworld: Martinez pitched eighth innings of one-run ball and struck out nine as the Cardinals edged the Dodgers 2-1 on Wednesday. Martinez has turned in seven straight quality starts, and he ended up 4-1 with a 2.03 ERA for the month of May. Particularly encouraging is that he’s come in at 9.7 K/9 IP this year after finishing at 8.0 last season. He’ll face the Reds next time out.
Wojciechowski gave up four runs and three homers in four innings Tuesday in his start against the Jays. Wojciechowski was making his fourth big-league start, the other three coming with the Astros in 2015. He’d have a better chance of holding his own in middle relief than he does as a starter, but the Reds are pretty desperate for innings at the moment.
