In each of the 2 NLCS games, the Cardinals weren’t getting anything going until late in the game when Jose Martinez came in as a pinch-hitter. In Game 1, he got the only hit of the game in his sole AB, and in Game 2, he drove in the only run of the series so far with his lone PA. Cards might want to consider getting him more opportunities.
