Pedro Martinez threw eight shutout innings against his old team Sunday to lead the Phillies to a 1-0 win over the New York Mets in Game 2 of a day-night doubleheader.
Mets’ starter Tim Redding threw six innings of three-hit ball, giving up the game’s lone run in the first inning.
After Jimmy Rollins drew a leadoff walk and Shane Victorino singled to advance Rollins to second (and advance our NoNoHitters.com count to 7,626 New York Mets games without a no-hitter), Chase Utley singled home Rollins to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead.
And after Pedro Feliz led off the second inning with a double, Redding retired the next 14 batters.
Martinez, meanwhile, scattered just six hits and a pair of walks to improve to 5-0 since joining the Phillies.
Sad part is, losing this game to Pedro mathematically eliminated the Mets from playoff contention, although we’ve known since July that the Mets were done for.
Yeah … i hadn’t even realize we were approaching the antimagic number.
