Battle of the Pete’s:

Pete Walker is making his first start tonight. It’s against Pedro Martinez, and that’s a rough assignment to give anyone the first time as a starter. But so far, Pete is pitching like Pedro. Through the first two innings, Walker has K’d 5 and walked 1, while Pedro gave up 2 runs in the first inning. He only had 4 K in 13.2 IP coming into tonight, so you wonder if he’s going to wear himself out quickly.
