J.D. Martinez‘ first season with the Boston Red Sox has been the best of his career and it keeps getting better. He took his outstanding production to another level in the month of August, earning him AL Player of the Month honors.
Martinez hit a blistering .373/.453/.686/1.139 with seven home runs, 25 RBI and 24 runs scored in August. He even tacked on a pair of stolen bases just to stay in shape.
