Game blog: Dodgers tie it up at 1-1 as Martinez slips

Carlos Martinez's scoreless streak ended at 5 1/3 innings.

The starter had been cruising though the first five frames of Wednesday night's ballgame, but ran into a bit of trouble in the sixth. After inducing a leadoff flyout from third baseman Logan Forsythe, Martinez walked shortstop Corey Seager, the third walk he's allowed.

Following Seager's plate appearance, catcher Yasmani Grandal singled Seager over to third base, and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez launched a sacrifice fly to the warning track to tie the game at 1-1.

Martinez will likely come out to start the seventh inning, but there are a couple pitchers in the home bullpen doing some stretching.
