It’s a Red Sox game from 2000 and
Martinez
is pitching! Never mind, it’s just big brother Ramon. Martinez pitched okay,
fanning three and walking one over five innings; he allowed three runs, all on
sacrifice flies, one of which paved the way for the third run when it was
dropped by Darren Lewis.
On the other side, Chuck Finley pitched well and deep into the game as he
was doing with regularity at the start of his first season as an Indian, making
112 pitches in 7 2/3. He surrended a home run to Mike Stanley in the second,
and
Stanley hit what would have
been a go-ahead homer to the warning track when Paul Shuey relieved Finley in
the eighth.
The Indians lineup is, uh, interesting--Jacob Cruz leading off while Jim
Thome hit sixth.
