Pedro Martínez was masterful in his final start, holding the Detroit Rockets to just 5-hits while striking out 9 in a 5-0 shutout. Detroit’s Bret Saberhagen also held the New York Swats to just 5 hits. In a rough 4th inning, Saberhagen was an out away from getting out of it before allowing a single to Dick Allen. Saberhagen then walked Joe Mauer to load the bases, and walked Roberto Alomar to walk in a run. Harry Heilmann followed with a grand slam to put New York up 5-0. Other than that inning, Saberhagen allowed just 2 hits the rest of the way. Detroit ends the season 23-31 after winning it all last year. It was the 2nd shutout for Martínez.
