EDGE Analysis

Martinez took a 100-mph fastball off his left elbow during the second inning and remained in the game to run the bases, eventually coming around to score on a Jose Iglesias single. However, he was pinch hit for by Mark Vientos in the third frame. Martinez was able to escape the incident with only a bruise, so he shouldn't need to miss much time -- if any at all.
