Los Angeles — J.D. Martinez was the first player to greet Miguel Cabrera before the game as the Dodgers honored the Tigers' future Hall-of-Famer in his last visit to Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers presented Cabrera with a check for $5,000 for his foundation, a case of expensive alcohol and his very own Hollywood star.
And then Martinez completely ruined the Tigers’ night.
The former Tiger (2014-2017) hit a pair of home runs, singled and knocked in five as the Dodgers snapped the Tigers’ four-game win streak with an 8-3 win Monday night.
Both homers came off lefty ace Eduardo Rodriguez, who nixed a trade deadline deal that would have sent him to Los Angeles for their playoff run.
