PORT ST. LUCIE – In a game in which Class A players were supposed to be in awe of a three-time Cy Young Award winner taking the mound, Pedro Martinez was marveling at his opponent.
Martinez, who is recovering from a strained left hamstring, participated in a rehab start on Wednesday with the St. Lucie Mets before joining the big league club for his second start of the season on Tuesday. But Martinez came out of the game impressed with the guy pitching for the opposing Vero Beach Devil Rays — 6-foot-4 lefty David Price.
