Welcome back to Boston (June 28, 2006).
Pedro’s last Boston win was in game three of the 2004 World Series and then it was off to sign with the Mets. Pedro did “come home” to pitch in 2006 as a Mets starter.
The stat line was not what you would expect from Pedro: Three innings, seven hits, eight runs (six earned), two walks and a lone strikeout. The final score was 10-2 with Martinez getting his fourth loss of the season to drop his record to 7-4. That was just about it for 2006.
Martinez made two visits to the DL and eventually had arm surgery.
