J.D. Martinez shows Eduardo Rodriguez what he's missing in Dodgers' win

J.D. Martinez hits two home runs as the Dodgers pummel Detroit Tigers starter Eduardo Rodriguez, who nixed a trade to L.A. earlier this summer.

The Dodgers took an unconventional path to another NL West championship. They are hoping that approach results in a World Series title.Miguel Rojas added a solo homer in the seventh, and Martinez capped a five-RBI game with a two-out RBI single in the seventh, as the Dodgers moved to within 3½ games of the Atlanta Braves for the best record in the NL.

Freddie Freeman walked with one out, stole second — his career-high 20th stolen base of the season — and Martinez, who has 28 homers on the season, grounded an RBI single to center for an 8-3 lead. Rodriguez gave up five runs and five hits in three innings, striking out one and walking one, before leaving the game in the fourth because of an apparent back injury.Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez delivers during the second inning Monday at Dodger Stadium.
