Raidel Martinez was utterly dominant on May 1st, slamming the door on the Tigers to secure his league-leading 9th save of the season. Martinez needed only 11 pitches to carve through the heart of the lineup, striking out two of the three batters he faced in a perfect 9th inning. With his ERA dropping to 2.89, the Giants’ closer is operating at an elite level, proving to be an insurmountable hurdle for any team trying to mount a late-game comeback.
