    Pedro vs Halladay - first great game of the season

    Pedro vs Halladay tonight was probably the biggest one on one matchup of the year so far and it didn't dissapoint. The lines:


    Pedro - 7.2IP 1R 1ER 7K 4H 2BB W(1-1)

    Halladay - 7IP 3 R 3 ER 7K 7H 2BB L(0-2)

    Both pitchers put up zero's in dominating fashion until David Ortiz hit a 2-run homer in the 6th. Orlando Hudson narrowed the score to 2-1 with a solo homer off of Martinez in the 7th but the Jays never got another run. Bellhorn and Ramirez each added a solo shot to give the Red Sox a 4-1 win.

    Halladay was nasty for most of the game with that tailing fastball running at 94 away from left-handed hitters. He fell in love with his curveball early and the hitters seemed to adjust, both home runs were off of the curveball.

    Martinez had a nice rebound outing from his average opening day start. His fastball was only going at 86-88 mph early on in the game and it topped out at 91mph. He had all four of his pitches working really well and his accuracy was pin-point. He was removed in the 8th because of pitch count concerns. Keith Foulke came on for the 4-out, 11 pitch save.

    I love pitcher's duels so this game was a joy for me to watch (made sweeter by the Sox win). I hope a lot of you guys saw it too and I look forward to the next big pitcher's duel, whomever it may involve.

    Big win for the Sox, and will hopefully give them some more confidence. Going by the statline, looks like Pedro had a very good outing, as did Halladay. Hope to catch some highlights tomorrow on ESPN.

                Another great one today (though Toronto fans may disagree) as the Red Sox win it in 12. This is the second straight Easter in which the Sox rallied against the Toronto Blue Jays and won it in extra innings with a walk-off home run. Garciapara did the honors last year and it was Ortiz doing the honors today with an opposite field bomb off of Aquilino Lopez with 1 on and no outs in the 12th.

                Miguel Batista got off to a rocky start allowing 3 walks and a double in the first inning allowing 2 runs to score. Schilling cruised for awhile but fell apart, the big blow a 2-out 2-run homer by Hinske in the 6th to give the Jays a 4-2 lead. Batista pitched fantastic after the first inning and out-did his former teammate but the pen blue the win for him as the Jays blew their first save opportunity of the season.

                And hey, Mickleson won the Masters today, maybe this is the year the Red Sox (or Cubs) go the distance.
