 TORONTO (AP) - Russell Martin wrapped up a memorable trip to Toronto by driving home the go-ahead run. The Canadian-born catcher hit a bases-loaded double in the eighth inning, sparking a six-run rally, Jeff Kent added a two-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-4 on Thursday night.
"It feels good anywhere you get a big hit to take the lead but it feels even better where you're at home in Canada," Martin said.
Playing in his hometown for the first time as a professional, Martin was besieged by local media, holding a press conference for some two dozen reporters before Tuesday's opener. The 24-year-old didn't let the attention distract him, going 3-for-12 with a homer and four RBIs in the three-game series.
