J.D. Martin wasn't involved in the decision after yielding three runs -- two earned -- in 5 2/3 innings Thursday against the Astros. | ||||||
Scott Olsen is on the way back and Luis Atilano is pitching better, so Martin might not stick around for much longer. He has a 2.31 ERA in his two starts, but he's allowed four unearned runs. Kevin Cash and Lance Berkman homered off him today. | ||||||

In his 2010 debut, J.D. Martin allowed four runs -- one earned -- over six innings Saturday in a loss to the Padres. | ||||||
And Adam Kennedy error got the ball rolling with two outs in the first. Chase Headley went on to single, and Nick Hundley followed that with a three-run homer. Martin allowed just four hits on the night, and he struck out five while walking one. Still, the Nats were never able to overcome the early deficit. Martin figures to make one more start before Scott Olsen is ready to return. | ||||||
