J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers combined to make history on Saturday, as both hit grand slams for the Red Sox in the first and second innings respectively of Game 2 of the ALCS.
Martinez went first, driving a two-out, 1-0 pitch from Astros starter Luis Garcia the opposite way over the wall.
After Kyle Schwarber’s lead-off double, Kiké Hernández nearly drove him in with a soft liner to center, but Chas McCormick made a spectacular diving catch to rob the red-hot Hernández of a base hit. But Astros starter Luis Garcia struggled to find the plate and gave up a pair of walks — one each to Rafael Devers and Alex Verdugo.
