Joba Chamberlain and Pedro Martinez UPDATE

Yesterday Joba Chamberlain and Pedro Martinez made their first starts in a long time.

For Joba it was his first start since his stint in the minors last year. Joba pitched 2.1 Innings gave up 1 hit and 2 runs(1 earned). So you cant say it was very successful(62 pitches in 2.1 innings) but you cant say this wasnt expected. My opinion is that the yankees should have sent him down to get ready to throw up to 90-100 pitches, and called him back up when ready.

As for Martinez he pitched for the first time since the Mets second game of the season. He pitched 6 innings giving up 7 hits and 3 runs. Pedro is expected to be limited to 6 or 7 innings a start.
