Tigers' Martinez returns from DL to hit go-ahead home run (Yahoo Sports)

Martinez hadn't played since fracturing his elbow June 16, but he pinch-hit in the eighth inning and hit Chris Sale's first pitch into the shrubs above the centerfield fence to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead. The homer turned out to be the winning run as Detroit won its eighth straight and moved within two games of first-place Cleveland in the AL Central. ''That was like a movie,'' Detroit infielder Ian Kinsler said.
