Pedro Awesome Again

Pedro Martinez has had an incredible season so far for the Mets, and tonight's outing was no exception. He took a no-hitter into the seventh innings, and he ended up holding the Astros to one hit. He walked one, and one of the of the two hits was a solo homer by Chris Burke. He struck out twelve Astros.

The Mets could have turned this one into a route, but they stranded ten runners. They got to Oswalt (good pitching matchup) for twelve hits, but only three crossed the plate.

With the win, the Mets are now tied with the Braves at a half game back of the Nationals. The Marlins lost again, so they dropped further into the cellar.
