4 years agoTampa Bay Rays first baseman/outfielder Jose Martinez is hitting third and playing DH in the team's series finale versus Yankees lefty James Paxton. It's an excellent matchup for Martinez, who's slashed .326/.399/.570 versus southpaws over his career and has recorded hits in four of his last five games. Paxton has struggled early with six earned runs in four innings, including a .550 BA against right-handed batters this season. The stars are aligning for a big afternoon for Martinez in his home park.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
