Martinez Fans 10 In Mets' Shutout Win At Florida

Pedro Martinez pitched five-hit ball for eight innings and struck out 10, and Cliff Floyd had a run-scoring double to help the New York Mets beat the Florida Marlins 1-0 on Friday.

"It's not only the weather, it's also being healthy," Martinez said. "I actually pitch the same way all the time -- I'm going to give you whatever I have. Today was a day where I felt I had frequent power. Not so much command with all three pitches, but power."

When Padres second baseman Mark Lorreta went down with a thumb injury, San Diego GM Kevin Towers received a phone call from Mets' GM Omar Minaya, reportedly about his second baseman Kaz Matsui.

Matsui has struggled this season and with Miguel Cairo an adequate and cheaper replacement, Minaya is keen to move the him.

Willie Randolph said that he and Minaya have discussed placing Matsui on the disabled list and promoting Victor Diaz from Class AAA Norfolk.

Braves' Rookie Davies Combines With Three Relivers For Shut Out

The Atlanta Braves shut out the New York Mets for the second straight night, with Kyle Davies and three relievers combining for a 3-0 win to complete a three-game sweep Wednesday night.

Davies gave up five hits and one walk. He received a standing ovation from the Turner Field crowd of 33,250 as he left in the sixth inning.

"It was exciting. You grow up dreaming about that," Davies said.

"Davies was better tonight that he was in Boston," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "He was very good in Boston but tonight he was even better. I thought he was just outstanding."
