Silvio Martinez, who hurled a no-hitter in the minors in his last start, allowed only one hit in his N.L. debut as the Cardinals romped over the Mets, 8-2. The rookie righthander held the Mets hitless until Steve Henderson tagged the first pitch of the seventh inning for a home run. The Mets' other run came in the ninth on a walk, infield out and a pair of wild pitches. [The Sporting News]
