Martin homers, Estrada solid as Blue Jays beat Rangers 8-5
ARLINGTON, Texas — Marco Estrada faded a bit before finishing another strong showing against the Texas Rangers.
The Toronto Blue Jays gave their right-hander plenty of wiggle room.
Russell Martin homered and hit a pair of RBI singles to back six solid innings from Estrada, and the Blue Jays beat the Rangers 8-5 on Friday night.
Martin’s drive to left field for an 8-0 lead in the sixth came right after Yangervis Solarte connected on a solo shot . It was the second homer of the season for both in a game delayed 36 minutes at the start by rain.
