PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. —Pedro Martinez did a nice job dodging the dangerous bats. Carlos Delgado wasn’t so fortunate.
Martinez pitched four scoreless innings in his spring training debut while Delgado needed four stitches to close a bloody gash in his arm after a freak accident as the Mets beat Detroit 7–4 in a split-squad game yesterday.
Martinez had an earlier exhibition start rained out and skipped another because it would’ve meant a three-hour trip across the state.
“I’m happy about getting out there and facing some real hitters,” Martinez said. “I’m right where I want to be.”
