Martinez was close enough that it bothered him all the way back to the dugout, where he tossed his helmet down the tunnel. He was close enough that it was the only thing that stopped him from a three-hit game.
Martinez settled for a 2-for-4 performance that was just his fourth multihit game of the season, and a .231 average for April with one extra-base hit -- a double on April 19 -- and nine RBIs.
The numbers are eerily similar to those of his opening month in 2013, when he batted .221 with no home runs (but five doubles) and nine RBIs.
