Pedro Leaves Game in 4th
Pedro Martinez left tonight’s game against the Braves before the bottom of the fourth inning with an apparent injury.
It is unknown what is wrong, although he seemd to be favoring his neck on the mound.
Martinez threw 130 pitches in eight shutout innings Sunday against the Mets at Citizens Bank Park. He had struggled through three innings tonight against the Braves, allowing three runs and seven hits.
Update (9:05 p.m.): The Phillies said Martinez left the game with stiffness on the right side of his neck.

Pedro……Ice, ice, baby!
Nice come-back, against Soriano, in the 9th. Too little, too late, though.
