Martinez Strains Hamstring, Exits Start

Some important Mets news tonight, during their game against the Marlins: Pedro Martinez left the game in the fourth inning with a strained left hamstring. He gave up two home runs in the game, and left holding his left leg.

Matt Cerrone at MetsBlog predicts Pedro will hit the DL. Tough early blow for the Mets, who were hoping the legendary right-hander would give the team at least 150 big innings this season.

The Marlins won the game in 10 innings, 5-4.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
