Martinez hits two home runs off of his former Red Sox teammate and drives in five runs as the Dodgers beat the Tigers, 8-3, for their fourth consecutive win.
LOS ANGELES — The only signs of what could have been came with the faintest smattering of boos, a few early birds at Dodger Stadium expressing displeasure as Eduardo Rodriguez took the mound on Monday night.
An idiom used often, in English, to signal resignation and thus farewell. And on Monday night, Martinez bid an emphatic farewell to ghosted texts and shattered rotation dreams, blasting two homers among his three hits and driving in five runs in the Dodgers’ 8-3 win. “He’s built to go deep into games,” Roberts said. “That’s how he’s wired. But I think having the mindset of, going as hard as you can for as long as you can, is what I’m looking for for the next two starts.”
