Expos Martinez Strikes out 15
Everything was working for Pedro Martinez today at Tiger Stadium. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The circle change was working.

In an unforgettable performance, the 26-year-old Martinez fanned 15 Tigers and sparked the Montreal Expos to a 4-2 victory over Detroit. He left Tigers hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it.

"I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said Montreal manager David Polakoff. "His location and command were really something."

In addition to collecting 15 strikeouts over 7 innings, Martinez allowed 5 hits and 1 walk in a superlative outing.

"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Martinez said with a smile.
