After Martinez's homer, the Yankees retook the lead in the eighth against Evan Phillips . Oswaldo Cabrera drove in Anthony Rizzo with the go-ahead run with a slow roller that second baseman Miguel Vargas could only throw to first. “I don't think they had a chance on both balls. The base runners had such a good jump. They were jam shots,” Roberts said. “There were a lot of things we did as far as giving away a couple bases on the defensive side.”
Martinez has 20 homers against the Yankees, his third-most against any club. He has 35 against Baltimore and 23 vs. Cleveland. He is four homers away from 300 for his career.Miller — the 29th overall pick in the 2020 amateur draft — looked like he might have a short outing after throwing 27 pitches in the first inning.
