MIAMI (AP) -Mets starter Pedro Martinez left New York’s game with the Florida Marlins after 57 pitches Tuesday night with what the team said was a strained left hamstring.
He retired Marlins catcher Matt Treanor on a groundout for the first out of the fourth inning, then immediately began grabbing his back and midsection, clearly in distress.
Jorge Sosa came in to relieve Martinez, who limped a bit as he walked off the field. Martinez – who has battled foot, hip, calf and shoulder injuries over the past two seasons – allowed home runs in each of the first two innings, the first time in his major league career that happened, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
