DETROIT -- When the game finally ended, J.D. Martinez's huge performance mattered little. But in just his fourth game since returning from a sprain of the Lisfranc ligament in his right foot, Martinez continued to show how valuable he is in the Tigers' lineup.
After three games on the road against the Angels, Martinez used his homecoming to ignite the offense in what was a 13-inning, 13-11 loss to Baltimore. In his first game back at Comerica Park since Sept. 28, Martinez torched the Orioles for two home runs, five RBIs and four walks.
