Padres starter Nick Martinez matches a career-high with seven strong innings, Manny Machado homers twice to beat Marlins
Mike Clevinger already has reclaimed his spot in the rotation. Blake Snell isn’t too far behind. Whatever comes of the discussion after the Padres use all six starting pitchers on the active roster over the next week, Nick Martinez aims to at least make it interesting.The 31-year-old right-hander matched a career-high with seven strong innings, supported solely by two homers from Manny Machado in a 2-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Thursday night at Petco Park.
“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun, so I don’t know if I’m the right guy to answer that question.”Martinez has allowed two runs or fewer in four of his five starts, although Thursday was the first time he’d pitched past the sixth inning and just the eighth time he’d completed seven innings in his career.With Clevinger back in the fold, the Padres are presumably deciding between Martinez and rookie MacKenzie Gore when they revert to a five-man rotation next week.
“That outing right there,” Padres bench coach Ryan Christenson said while filling in for an ill Bob Melvin, “it’s obviously going to be really difficult and it’s a good conversation to have. One of the strengths of our team is the starting rotation. When you start talking about adding a guy like Snell, to have that discussion with Martinez or a Gore who has been pitching well, it’s tough.
The only blemish on Martinez’s line arrived in the fourth, when Miguel Rojas and Payton Henry singled to open the inning and Jesus Aguilar lined a one-out single to center to tie the game at 1-1.
