NEW YORK -- Mets slugger J.D. Martinez exited Tuesday night's game against the Oakland Athletics with a bruised left elbow after getting hit by a 99.6 mph fastball from rookie Joe Boyle in the second inning.
The 36-year-old designated hitter hopped in pain toward the Oakland dugout but initially remained in the game following a visit from an athletic trainer.
Martinez scored New York's first run on Jose Iglesias' one-out single before being lifted for pinch hitter Mark Vientos with two on and two outs in the third inning.
