(by Brett Kahn)It's day two of the 2008 season and already, the Mets are sweating. Not only did the club loose a heart-breaker in the 10th inning to the Florida Marlins, but they may have also lost one of their aces.
Pedro Martinez just never seemed to have his control tonight. Giving up two first inning runs off of a Dan Uggla home run was just the beginning of a rough night for the 209-win veteran. Martinez would go on to allow two more runs off of a Louis Gonzalez home run in the second inning.
Just as things might have been looking up for the right-hander, he pulled his right hamstring during a routine pitch in the fourth inning.
The Mets, minus Pedro, rallied from four down to tie the game in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly by LF Angel Pagan after David Wright led off the inning with a single.
The Mets bullpen was stellar for five plus innings until Matt Wise surrendered a walk-off home run in the 10th inning to Renyel Pinto.
Tomorrow at 7:10 EST, the teams will meet in the rubber match as Oliver Perez goes for the Mets.
