Pedro was back to his old form last night as he delivered his magic on Sunday before a crowd of roaring Phillies fans. He admits he is "bouncing back good."
As reported by MLB:
"He had already thrown 128 pitches. The potential tying run was on second base.
So when Pedro Martinez saw Phillies manager Charlie Manuel leave the dugout with two outs in the eighth inning, he begrudgingly assumed that his night was over. But Martinez talked his way into one more batter. The 44,901 fans at Citizens Bank Park roared with approval as Manuel trotted back to the dugout. And they shouted even louder when Daniel Murphy, who was on second, was thrown out trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt, ending the inning.
Martinez's masterpiece brought memories of the 1990s and sent the Phillies to a 1-0 victory over the Mets on Sunday night. Philadelphia swept the doubleheader and increased its National League East division lead to 6 1/2 games over Florida".
