Adrián Martínez struck out four over six scoreless innings as Oakland A’s finished a week-long road trip with win over Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
The Oakland A’s will have no choice but to keep Adrián Martínez in their starting rotation if the rookie right-hander keeps pitching like he did Sunday.Martínez allowed three hits and struck out four over six scoreless innings as the A’s finished a week-long road trip with a 5-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
Martínez, hoping to follow up his impressive start from Aug. 28 against the New York Yankees at the Coliseum, faced just one batter over the minimum from the second to the sixth innings after he got out of a first-inning jam. Martínez’s performance matched his effort against the Yankees last Sunday when he struck out a career-high six strikeouts in 5⅓ innings in a 4-1 A’s victory. The outing gave Martínez a chance to remain in the A’s rotation during a road trip in which they started six different pitchers.
Kaprielian struggled in August, going 1-4 with a 5.59 ERA in six starts. In that stretch, he had 23 strikeouts to go with 17 walks, as his season record slipped to 3-9. Kaprielian warmed up in the late innings but didn’t enter the game as A.J. Puk worked a scoreless ninth.
