FACTS/FLUKES: J.D. Martinez, Robertson, Pillar, Karns, Lindor

Hard contact fuels Martinez's game ... J.D. Martinez (OF, DET) was one of the surprise breakouts of the 2014 season with a near-$30 season that came out of nowhere.

He's already surpassed his career-high HR total and has managed to keep his BA in striking distance of .300.
