MLB: L.A. Dodgers 7, Pittsburgh 3

LOS ANGELES, April 22 (UPI) -- Russell Martin belted a walkoff grand slam homer in the bottom of the 10th inning Saturday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Pittsburgh, 7-3.

Martin's game-winning blast was possible because his Pittsburgh counterpart, Ronny Paulino, committed two critical errors earlier in the inning.
