With Martin Perez sidelined due to forearm soreness, the White Sox relied on right-hander Davis Martin to fill the gap in the rotation. Despite a 4-2 loss, Martin delivered a strong performance, pitching five innings while allowing only two runs (none earned) while managing to keep the bullpen fresh. Key defensive errors led to the unearned runs. Manager Will Venable commended Martin's performance and highlighted the importance of reliever Mike Vasil, whose strong showing bolstered the team's efforts on the mound, demonstrating how depth in the pitching staff is crucial for the White Sox's success.
I mean, that's my goal: to be the same guy, same starter, somebody that shows up every five days and you know exactly what you're going to get.
A really bad [defensive play] and a bad call by the umpire [accounted for] two runs there. Otherwise, [Martin] was in control the whole time.
That was huge,” Venable said of Vasil's performance. “Pushing the game deeper into the ballgame was exactly what we were hoping for.
Covering him won't be one man's responsibility. But Sox right-hander Davis Martin did his part in a 4-2 loss Tuesday.
