Jose Martinez hits solo homer in loss Saturday

Jose Martinez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in the Cardinals' 6-5 loss to the Cubs on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

Martinez has been great source of batting average this season, but it was nice to see a little power from him. The home run was just his second on the year and he raised his ISO to .148. His 25% flyball rate will limit his power upside, but his 29.4% line drive will ensure that his batting average stays comfortably around .300. That's enough to make Martinez a valuable asset in fantasy, especially now that he's getting regular playing time.
