Good News, Bad News
The good news is that Pedro Martinez's control appears intact. He struck out seven and walked just one batter tonight against the Marlins. He also took a no-hitter into the fifth. The bad news is that he allowed four runs, three earned in the fifth inning and was finished for the game. That was more than enough offense for Anibal Sanchez as the Fish win 5-2. All in all it was a positive night for Pedro. He just needs to build his stamina a little more before the playoffs start.
The win will leave the Marlins 3 1/2 games behind the Phillies with six to play head-to-head. They remain teetering on the edge of being in or out of the wild card race. We'll see how they do in the city of brotherly love this weekend.
