Pedro Martinez Perfect Game Box Score by Baseball Almanac

Pedro Martinez Perfect Game Box Score

Pedro Martinez became the second major league pitcher to take a perfect game into extra innings and the first to throw nine hitless innings at Jack Murphy Stadium. Martinez, who is a throw-back pitcher to an era long gone, hurled this amazing game yet only earned a simple win upon its completion due to a tench inning Bip Roberts line drive double down the right-field line.

"You just don't expect a guy weighing ninety-seven pounds to throw ninety-nine miles an hour. He's just very aggressive. I never really watched Bob Gibson pitch, but I get the feeling he's like a Gibson. If he has to throw one under your chin, he'll do it". - Larry Walker

Pedro Martinez "Near" Perfect Game Box Score

Only forty-one days later, Pedro Martinez's brother Ramon Martinez threw a no-hitter versus the Florida Marlins.
