EDGE Analysis

Martin entered the game in the top of the eighth inning, tasked with keeping the game tied at 1-1. The right-hander recorded two outs in the frame, giving up a trio of singles in the process, the last of which resulted in a run scored for Detroit. After the final single, Martin appeared to hurt his left leg, and he was ultimately removed from the contest as a result. Caleb Boushley replaced him on the mound, and more information on Martin's status will likely come in the near future.
