Dan Martin, Post:
Evidently, John Henry still owns the Red Sox — not J.A. Happ.
Much had been made of Happ's history against Boston and the fact he was well-suited to containing Boston’s lineup at Fenway Park in Game 1 of the ALDS.
But as is often the case in October, previous numbers didn't amount to much, especially when J.D. Martinez came to the plate with two on and one out in the bottom of the first inning in Boston's 5-4 win.
Martinez turned on a 2-0 fastball and drilled it over the Green Monster in left to give the Red Sox a quick 3-0 lead.
