Alex Avila on deck to hit for Victor Martinez in the 3rd inning. Hmm.

Alex Avila was on the lineup card to replace Victor Martinez, but it seems odd that Martinez got just one at-bat.

V-Mart walking back to Tigers clubhouse on his own, carrying his own bats and gear, with no trouble. No obvious sign of injury.

Jason Beck sitting right there. asked if he was okay and he gave the thumbs up.
