Yunior

Marte

Marte pitched well, but two solo homers was more than enough offense for Tarik Skubal. The 23-year-old deserves credit for pitching significantly better against Los Angeles after he was lit up by the Dodgers for six runs in his previous attempt. Assuming he stays in the organization, Marte will get a chance to earn a spot for San Francisco during the spring training season.

The 22-year-old Marte has a 4.66 ERA in two starts and two relief appearances since being summoned to the majors on Aug. 29. He’ll likely face the Dodgers again next weekend.

Marte gave up three hits, walked two and struck out three. He pitched well, but the Giants still removed him from the game after throwing 76 pitches with two outs and no one on base in the fifth inning. Marte isn’t scheduled for another start at the moment, though it’s clear the organization will be careful with how many pitches he throws the rest of the way after he already threw 107 2/3 innings in the minor leagues this year prior to his MLB debut.

Marte will make his MLB debut on Saturday, starting the second game of the team’s doubleheader against the Diamondbacks. The 22-year-old hurler has compiled a 3.85 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and a 113/41 K/BB ratio over 107 2/3 innings in 22 appearances (20 starts) between High-A Eugene and Double-A Richmond this season. Seth Lonsway was optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

No, not the Yunior Marte that pitched in the big leagues for the Phillies in 2023 and 2024. This one is a 21year-old right-hander that has posted a 2.74 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and a 79/20 K/BB ratio across 82 innings in 19 starts at Single-A Columbia this season. He makes for a nice addition to the Giants’ organization.
