Hope Carlos Martinez is all right. "Fatigue" was a strange diagnosis as his velocity was fine going into his final inning.
"Good" Liriano was on last night for Bucs. Had everything working and got calls on the black. When that happens, you might as well be facing Arrieta. Probably would've been a shutout if not for that 49' wild pitch. And too bad you guys got the Wrath of Kang instead of the Cubs.

Martinez is a good pitcher. His last two starts were dismal. I hope he can get his act together, and/or the Cardinals can bring in other good pitchers.
