J.D. Martinez

J.D. Martinez served as the catalyst for the Boston Red Sox in their 14-6, ALDS game two victory over the Tampa Bay Rays with a vital longball in the top of the fifth inning. With the score tied, 5-5, the four-time MLB All-Star had a major opportunity to blow open the game with two runners on base. Martinez connected on a breaking ball, delivered from Matt Wisler, and sent it over the center-field wall for a go-ahead, three-run blast.
