J.D. Martinez Has Been Crucial to the Diamondbacks' Playoff Push

Last night, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder J.D. Martinez made history, and in the process, may have helped the D-Backs put a real scare into a Los Angeles Dodgers team that once appeared unbeatable.

Arizona's 13-0 demolition of L.A. was powered by 4, count 'em, 4 home runs from the Diamondbacks' mid-season acquisition from the Detroit Tigers. Martinez became the second player this season to smack a quartet of dingers in one game, the first being Scooter Gennett, who pulled off that feat for the Cincinnati Reds.
