July 31, 2019 Martin has a 3.08 ERA this season with four saves in 38 innings pitched. But has fared much better since getting off to a rocky start to the season.
Chris Martin will be a rental for the #Braves, but monster numbers since April 29: 35 Ks, 2 BB in 27 2/3 IP, 2.60 ERA. Has closed at times.
