Once again, tonight’s game in Montreal can be resumed to one name: Pedro Martinez.
Martinez completed his 3rd game in 5 starts, his 2nd complete game shutout of the season, and is clearly an early favorite for the N.L. Cy Young award. He completed the game giving up only 4 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 12, including 7 in the first three innings alone. He now has 4 wins in as many decision, with an ERA of 0.64 with 51 strikeouts in 42 innings pitched.
There were 8 other players on the field for the Expos even if they weren’t really needed. They scored 3 points on 7 hits, all their points coming from solo Homeruns. After hitting only 8 long balls as a team in 22 games, this power outburst was a good sign.
