JD Martinez Breaks Out of Slump Red Sox Beat Cleveland 5-3 in 10 Innings [VIDEO]
JD Martinez, mired in a 0-20 broke out of his slump on Saturday, blasting a 3-run homer in the 10th inning as the Red Sox beat the Indians 5-3.
Martinez hit a single in his 1st plate appearance, and ended the day 3-5. His 395 foot homer drove in Jarren Duran and Kyle Schwarber.
Schwarber, who was hitless on Friday, went 3-5 and hit his 27th homer, and 2nd with Boston. His homer went 400 feet and gave Boston a 1-0 lead in the 1st inning.
Xander Bogaerts doubled, and Christian Vazquez had 2 hits, including a double.
Nathan Eovaldi went 5.1 innings, striking out 7. He allowed 6 hits and 2 runs, and didn't walk a batter.
