He lasted 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits, while striking out 2. With the win, he raised his record to 1-4. The Twins raised their record to 59-85.

With Minnesota leading 1-0 in the top of the first, Martin hit a 2-run single off Kansas City hurler Scott Blewett. It was the 31st hit of the season for Martin and put his team ahead, 3-0.

"Alex is still learning," said Twins manager Robin Ventura. "The sky's the limit for him."
