Sadly, this is an April Fools Free Post.
Pedro Martinez landed awkwardly on his leg in the 4th inning while delivering a pitch to Matt Traenor, and was forced to leave the game.
His knee looked like it buckled as his foot caught on the mound, and he immediately grabbed his left hamstring.
He pitched 3 1-3 of an inning, allowing four hits and four runs. He walked one and struck out one.
Paging Nelson Figueroa...Mr. Figueroa...
Update: Martinez has been diagnosed with a strained left hamstring.
Update 2: Kevin Burkhardt is reporting that Martinez felt a "pop" in his leg.
That is not good. That could signal a tear in his hammy, which would spell a long stint on the DL. Pedro is heading back to New York to receive an MRI on his left hamstring tomorrow.
