Martin paying big dividends for Blue Jays

Martin proved once again in Saturday afternoon's 5-4 win over Boston that he is a force to be reckoned with at the plate, with a go-ahead solo homer in the 11th inning. With the game tied at 4, it was Martin's shot over the Green Monster that helped secure his club's 10th consecutive win.

The 32-year-old has 10 homers this season, which is just one shy of his total from all of last year in Pittsburgh. Martin's shot against Boston went to left field, but it's the six home runs to right which has surprised manager John Gibbons the most.
