Padres beat up on old friend Nick Martinez, beating the Cincinnati Reds to halt the season's worst losing streak yet
As Yu Darvish rocked and fired through his warm-up pitches, a beat plenty familiar to Nick Martinez poured into Petco Park. Bakermat’s “Baiana” had been Martinez’s warm-up song of choice both years in San Diego. Naturally, the 33-year-old right-hander laughed from the visiting dugout in appreciation of the nod from a former teammate ahead of the first inning Tuesday night. The hospitality did not extend much further.
In his first start at Petco Park since signing with the Reds, Martinez was on the ropes in the first inning, allowing a leadoff single to Jurickson Profar, walking Fernando Tatis Jr. on four pitches and booting Jake Cronenworth’s comebacker to load the bases.
