Good to see Pedro get a win today, after only giving up another unearned run in the fourth inning. Unfortunately, even as the Mets easily gave him a victory with very good run support, he maxed out at 88 mph, and was between 82-85 with the fastball for the most part. He doesn't seem to have much left, but with the changeup and cutter he may still have enough to at least finish this season somewhat strong. He also notched his 3,000th strikeout. Hopefully he'll continue to pitch just effectively enough to help the Mets win the division, but this very well could be the end to a Hall-of-Fame career.
