Los Angeles (NYP) Held Hitless by Martin Tuesday, August 9th , 2050 Tim Martin was feeling calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs. "You really become conscious of every pitch at that point," he said. "The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. Everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over." There were no mistakes to be had for Martin on this day at Avista Stadium. The Spokane Indians right-hander was in complete command, not allowing the Los Angeles (NYP) Angels a single base hit in the 8-0 victory. "Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said to BNN reporters after the game. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet." Martin faced 30 batters, had 14 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks in a dominating effort. "He was on from the get-go," Angels manager Julian Bush said. "He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him." This season Martin has been credited with no saves. In 4 relief appearances and 134 innings he has a 13-2 won-lost mark, a 1.28 ERA and 193 strikeouts. |
