Pedro Martínez’s brother had an almost perfect day in his first appearance in Major League baseball season. Ramón Martínez of the Los Angeles Dodgers reached the eighth inning without a single hit. Eddie Taubenense ruined his chance at a no-hitter. Martínez had thrown a no-hitter in a game with the Marlins last year. Martínez’s team mate, fellow Dominican Raúl Mondesí batted the homerun that decided the game against the Cincinatti Reds, 1-0.
