Watch: Martin leaps into Red Sox dugout chasing foul
John E. Sokolowski / USA TODAY Sports
This probably isn't what Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons wanted to see when he penciled Russell Martin back into the lineup Saturday.
After missing Friday's game due to a knee issue, Martin was back behind the plate Saturday, and he wasted no time putting that knee to the test. Martin chased Aaron Hill's pop-up right into enemy territory, and showed off some hops by leaping into the Red Sox dugout in a failed attempt for a spectacular out.
The Blue Jays shouldn't be surprised by this kind of risk-taking by Martin. After all, it's the third time in barely a month he's put life and limb on the line near the dugout.
