Martinez Hurls No-Hitter
The no-hitter is one of baseball's truly egalitarian achievements. It's done by the great and the not-so-great alike, and for nearly all of them it represents the pinnacle of a career. Montreal Expos pitcher Pedro Martinez had his moment today at Kingdome, holding the Seattle Pilots hitless and beating them, 9-0.

"Everything was working for him," Pilots manager said. "He had a lot of late movement that seemed to cause the guys trouble, especially from the fifth inning on. He was in command."

Martinez rung up 16 strikeouts, issued 2 walks and faced only 30 hitters in his historic outing. After the game, he spoke to BNN reporters in the Montreal locker room.

"I really got nervous in the last inning," Martinez recalled. "I knew I had a chance at a no-hitter but it was hard to stay calm and concentrate. Thank goodness for my catcher. He told me he would do all the thinking and I could just concentrate on hitting his glove."

So far this season Martinez has a 10-6 record, 20 starts, 144 innings, 233 strikeouts and a 2.88 ERA.
