Angel Martinez News: Involved late in win

Martinez entered Saturday's game as a pinch hitter before taking over at second base. He went 1-for-2 with two RBI in a 7-5 extra-inning win over Detroit.

Martinez knocked in the tying run in the eighth inning, then had a run-scoring double in the 10th. He has been a fixture in the lineup since he was called up in April, mainly in center field, but Lane Thomas was activated off the injured list this week and might reclaim the starting job. As such, Martinez could be headed for a utility role. He's slashing .281/.305/.405 with two home runs, 17 RBI, four steals and 15 runs over 37 games.
