Note: Hard Fought Win for Pedro
Pedro Martinez pitched 5.1 innings last night, allowing just five hits and two runs while striking out six to earn the win.
Jerry Manuel on Pedro’s performance:
“He had a high pitch count, but he made some pitches when he had to…I thought he pitched well. I think that pitch-count thing, in the span of five innings, is something that we need to watch. Because, what that tells you is, he might now be getting a certain pitch and they’re fouling it off, and they’re having enough at bats to foul pitches off and not quite getting it where he wants. But, he’s healthy, he feels good and that’s a good thing.”
…pedro was good last night, and didn’t need to stay in with an eight run lead…you would have thought that would be a comfortable enough cushion, and it was, but barely…
