J.D. Martinez’s Eighth-Inning Grand Slam Gave Red Sox Chance Against Rays
The Boston Red Sox actually had a chance to win Wednesday’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays, largely thanks to J.D. Martinez.
With the Red Sox trailing 8-1 in the eighth inning at Fenway Park, Martinez blasted a grand slam off Rays righty Aaron Slegers to make it an 8-5 game. Boston went on to lose 9-5, but Martinez did all he could to spark what would’ve been a wild comeback.
