Angel Martinez's Grand Slam Leads Guardians to Dominant 10-2 Win Over Royals
The Cleveland Guardians put on a hitting clinic Wednesday afternoon, absolutely running away with the rubber match against the Kansas City Royals. Angel Martinez went absolutely nuclear, finishing with four hits and a grand slam to lead the charge in a 10-2 victory that showed why this team is dangerous when they get rolling.
Martinez Carries the Load
Martinez was the story of the day, plain and simple. Four hits. A grand slam. That's the kind of offensive explosion that puts games away fast. The Royals had no answer for what the Guardians were throwing at them, and by the time the late innings rolled around, the game was effectively over. That's what happens when you get that kind of individual performance in a deciding game of a series.
