Pedro Martinez turned the clock back in the series finale with the D-Rays. Complete game shutout, 6 hits, 10 strikeouts, no walks. In the month …

A great win. An offensive explosion. Timely hitting not seen since… well, not since Mueller’s game-winning home run off Rivera several weeks ago. This was …
