Pedro Martinez whiffed 11 batters and Manny Ramirez had 2 base hits at PNC Park where the Dominican Rep Dominicans beat the Mexico Mexicans 5 to 4. Martinez(1-0) delivered a fine performance for Dominican Rep. He was reached for 4 hits and 2 walks in 8 innings. Mexico threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short. Armando Benitez was credited with his 1st save. Oliver Perez(0-1) absorbed the loss. He pitched 6 innings giving up 6 hits and 4 walks. Mexico's manager was upset after the game. 'I don't like to complain but did you see that umpires strike zone?', he said. 'Maybe they ought to start calling the strike zone the way it's printed in the rule book.'
