The Cleveland Indians lit up Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers on Saturday. Things got so crazy that Michael Martinez, now a stud reliever, hit a double and set his average at 1.000 on the season.
Martinez was one of nine Indians hitters to record a hit on Saturday. Yan Gomes was not one of the nine.
Gomes went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts, keeping his hit total at two after 30 plate appearances on the season.
Gomes is in Sunday’s lineup once again, and must do something to produce out of the ninth spot in the order.
