The Trade Off

David Freese hits a fly ball to deep rightfield, and occasional outfielder J.D. Martinez does not see the ball. It falls in for a triple, giving Freese half a cycle. That’s the price the Red Sox were willing to pay to get Martinez’s bat in the lineup.

Justin Turner grounds out hard to short, Freese holds, and he is on third with two out.

Update: Martinez has a tough time again, but catches a foul fly by Kike Hernandez to end the inning. At the end of three, Boston leads Los Angeles 2-1.
