J.D. Martinez makes a leaping home run-saving grab and David Price breathes a sigh of relief

J.D. makes a home run-saving grab, Price is relieved

J.D. Martinez has been a revelation at the plate this season, helping anchor the Tigers lineup with a .317/.360/.564 line and 23 HR. Turns out, he can play a little defense too.

And David Price was very glad that he was, letting loose a sigh of relief that is usually reserved for "Oh thank God, my boss never received that 2 am voicemail I left."
