With his latest feat of strength, J.D. Martinez etched his name among an illustrious group of fellow Red Sox power hitters.
Martinez hit his 25th home run of the 2018 season in a 9-6 win over the Angels on Wednesday night.
The impressive three-run shot meant Martinez holds a new record for most home runs by a Red Sox hitter through the end of June.
It’s been an auspicious start in Boston for the 30-year-old slugger, who signed with the Red Sox during spring training as a free agent.
