April 3 San Francisco Giant?s right-handed pitcher Tim Lincecum made his 2008 debut in relief as both the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants held their probable starters due to weather in Los Angeles. When Lincecum did get into the game, he struggled early, including a 28 pitch fourth inning, his first of the game. He also only got two swing and misses in the fourth, which isn?t right considering his stuff. He ended up going four innings, giving up four hits, four walks, and a run to go with four strikeouts. However, he settled down and helped the Giants pick up their first win of the season. The Washington Nationals are 3-0 after a 1-0 win over the Philadelphia Phillies when all the scoring was done by a sixth inning home run by third baseman Ryan Zimmerman. Washington starters, a definite weakness on this roster, have been solid thus far. Between Odalis Perez, Matt Chico, and Tim Redding, they have compiled 17.1 innings and given up just four runs with a WHIP of less than one. The star of the group has been Redding, who pitched seven innings of one hit, shutout ball on Wednesday. New York Mets' pitcher Pedro Martinez is back on the disabled list with a left hamstring injury, which occurred in his Tuesday start against the Florida Marlins. The Mets aren?t crippled by this news with Johan Santana on the roster, but it has to be deflating to the team as a whole. Hamstrings are injuries which stay with you for a season, so temper your expectations of Martinez for 2008.
