J.D. Martinez - DH - Red Sox

J.D. Martinez went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Martinez picked up an RBI double against Nick Tropeano in the fourth inning on an evening when his team posted 14 hits and eight runs. The Red Sox's big-money offseason acquisition has been worth every penny in the early going this season, surging after a relatively slow start to hit .338/.365/.618 with four home runs and 15 RBI through his first 17 games in a Boston uniform. Martinez has collected eight hits in his last 12 at-bats, including seven hits in his last nine at-bats. Just scorching.
Apr 20 - 1:59 AM
Mookie Betts - OF - Red Sox

Mookie Betts went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Not quite the fireworks show that Betts put on on Tuesday, when he swatted three home runs, but the outfielder remains one of the hottest players in the bigs. His dinger on Thursday came leading off the first inning against Nick Tropeano. The Angels are most certainly going to be happy for the Red Sox -- and Betts in particularly -- to leave town. Boston swept the three-game series, a three-game series in which Betts went 7-for-13 with four home runs and a double. For the campaign as a whole, the star outfielder owns a silly batting line of .391/.481/.797 with six homers, 14 RBI and 22 runs scored over the course of 64 at-bats. Simply fantastic.
Apr 20 - 1:58 AM
Andrew Benintendi - OF - Red Sox

Andrew Benintendi went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a two-run single in Thursday's win over the Angels.

In a series between two of the best teams in the majors record-wise, the Red Sox made this three-game sweep look easy. Benintendi chipped in with three hits in Tuesday's series opener, sat on Wednesday and then came back to start and whack a solo home run in the sixth inning on Thursday. The home run was the first of the campaign for the young outfielder. He also picked up a nice little stat-padding two-run single in the ninth. Benintendi is now slashing .267/.384/.450 with the one home run, 13 RBI and a pair of steals across 60 at-bats. Perhaps Thursday's showing will help to get him going after what's been a somewhat quiet start with the stick.
Apr 20 - 1:54 AM
Chris Young - OF - Angels

Chris Young went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Young connected for a solo home run off Eduardo Rodriguez in the fifth inning to draw the Angels to within 3-2, but they would not draw closer than that through to the end of the contest. The veteran outfielder has seen just 13 at-bats this season and holds no fantasy value. Thursday's home run was his first of the campaign.
Apr 20 - 1:49 AM
Shohei Ohtani - S - Angels

Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Ohtani has been the toast of baseball this year, but this series against the Red Sox is a solid reminder that he's probably a mortal man. He was knocked up for three runs in just two innings in his Tuesday start -- which he was forced to leave due to a blister on his right hand -- and fared no better with the bat on Thursday. That said, in 34 at-bats this season, Ohtani is still slashing .324/.378/.676 with three home runs (five total extra-base hits) and 11 RBI. He also owns a 3.60 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 19/4 K/BB ratio in three outings on the mound. He's expected to be able to make his next scheduled start despite the blister concern.
Apr 20 - 1:48 AM
Eduardo Rodriguez - S - Red Sox

Eduardo Rodriguez allowed two runs on three hits over six innings in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Rodriguez wasn't as crisp as he could have been -- he issued a trio of walks to go against five strikeouts -- but this was a fine performance on the whole. Zack Cozart knocked him for an RBI single in the second inning and Chris Young cracked him for a solo home run in the fifth inning, but otherwise, he was able to keep out of major trouble. This start out the way, Rodriguez will now bring a 3.45 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 20/7 K/BB ratio (15 2/3 innings) into a road date with the Blue Jays in his next scheduled outing.
Apr 20 - 1:45 AM
Nick Tropeano - S - Angels

Nick Tropeano surrendered five runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Tropeano struck out three and walked two on the evening. The lava-hot Mookie Betts cracked him for a solo home run in the first inning to put the Angels behind the eight-ball early, while two-run spots by the Sox in the fourth and sixth innings capped off the scoring on his line. This start was a disappointing step back after he impressed with 6 2/3 scoreless frames against the Royals in his season-debut last time out (he did not initially make the Opening Day roster). The right-hander won't have an easier assignment next time out, as he will be heading out to Houston for a date with the Astros.
Apr 20 - 1:45 AM
Derek Law - R - Giants

Giants optioned RHP Derek Law to Triple-A Sacramento.

Law looks like he will be the roster casualty with Jeff Samardzija (pectoral) set to rejoin the Giants on Friday. In two appearances since his call-up earlier this month, the 27-year-old right-hander surrendered three runs (two earned) on two hits across 3 1/3 innings. He posted an uncomfortable 5.06 ERA in 41 innings of relief work with the Giants last season.
