SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - JUNE 10: Bobby Dalbec #29 of the Boston Red Sox celebrates with third base coach Carlos Febles #53 after hitting a solo home run against the Seattle Mariners to take a 3-2 lead during the seventh inning at T-Mobile Park on JuneJ.D. Martinez was apparently tired of the good-natured joking he was receiving about his long home run drought.
Martinez homered for the first time since May 17, hitting a solo blast off Seattle starter Marco Gonzales to give Boston a 2-0 lead. It was Martinez’s sixth home run. "He’s a very young pitcher and not many professional innings under his belt before this year and he’s learning," Seattle manager Scott Servais said. "We see some nights where it’s just electric, unhittable and other nights that command is just a little bit off, and those are the nights it’s a little bit of challenge for him."
"It seems like he’s always in control and he wants this. He wants to pitch in situations like this," Cora said of Houck. Despite the rough first inning that included Xander Bogaerts’ RBI double, Gonzales minimized the damage. He pitched into the fifth, giving up only two runs and throwing 102 pitches.
