SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants promoted J.P. Martinez to the team’s pitching coach on Friday.

The Giants announced that Martinez will replace Bryan Price, who stepped down after one season in the role.

The 42-year-old Martinez has served as the team’s assistant pitching coach for the past four seasons. Giants pitchers have the fourth-lowest ERA in the National League during his tenure at 3.80.

Prior to joining the Giants, Martinez spent six seasons with the Minnesota Twins in several roles, most recently as the club’s assistant pitching coordinator.
