by Jesse Garcia | Reds Correspondent | Wed, May 22nd 9:25pm EDT
Nick Martinez took the loss Wednesday, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings against the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing pushed his ERA to 4.81 and his WHIP to 1.28 for the season, numbers that reflect a pitcher struggling to find consistency. Despite a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio of 5.17, Martinez's ability to limit damage has been sporadic, as evidenced by his performance in this game. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying too heavily on him, considering his fluctuating performances and the potential for high-scoring games against him, which could hurt ratios significantly.
