He was healthy again. There was no sign of the injury below his right shoulder blade that plagued him in last year's playoffs.

"Everything went fine. Those are not the results I would like," baseball's best pitcher said Monday. "I just wanted to see how I felt in a game because after last season I never faced a batter. This is the first time. It's a big test."

Using mostly fastballs, Martinez allowed three runs on three hits -- a double, triple and homer -- while throwing 32 pitches in the first two innings. He got the loss in the Texas Rangers 13-6 win over the Boston Red Sox.

There were two notable confrontations.

In the first inning, Martinez faced Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez with one out and a runner on third. The Rangers' catcher edged Martinez for AL Most Valuable Player last season when two writers left Martinez off their ballots because they didn't think pitchers should get the award.

Martinez won this much less important matchup, getting Rodriguez on a called strike on the outside corner.

"I like challenges," Martinez said. "Pudge is one of the players I like to face and he's going to be one of the players that I want to face most of the time in spring training so I know how to get him out."

The other matchup should have been more one-sided -- the AL Cy Young Award winner who was 23-4 with a major-league best 2.07 ERA and AL high 313 strikeouts vs. Luis Alicea, who has 36 homers in 10 seasons.

Alicea sent the fifth pitch, a fastball that didn't go as far inside as Martinez would have liked, over the 20-foot wall in right field for a second-inning home run.

"I could have gotten Alicea out, maybe, with some other pitches but that's not exactly what I want," Martinez said. "I don't want to get hurt trying to get Alicea out in spring training."

For the most part, he stayed away from breaking balls. He didn't throw nearly as hard as he can and struck out just one but walked none. He threw one wild pitch. But the regular season doesn't start for another month.

"His delivery was good. He wasn't trying to overthrow at all," Boston manager Jimy Williams said. "How much weight do you put into the first time out? Let's be honest here. Or the second time out? The main thing is he's healthy."

"The more I keep throwing, the better I feel," Martinez said. "I felt like I could throw the ball hard but I didn't want to overthrow. I didn't want to overdo anything."

Indians 15, Yankees 1
At Winter Haven, Fla., Richie Sexson drove in four runs with a home run and a double as Cleveland dropped New York to 0-5 this spring.

The World Series champions have been outscored 49-16 and have not held a lead in any game this year.

Sexson's second spring-training homer came in the fourth off reliever Mike Buddie. He added a two-run double during an eight-run fifth.

Jaret Wright pitched two hitless innings in his spring debut. Wright, trying to hang on to the fifth spot in the Indians starting rotation, needed just 18 pitches to retire his six batters.

"Even though it's spring training, you like facing good teams, and it's still the Yankees," Wright said. "It's always good to skate by that first one and get it out of the way."

Orioles 17, Dodgers 3
Carlos Perez, who struggled last year, was pounded for six runs and five hits in two innings as Los Angeles was routed by Baltimore in Vero Beach, Fla.

After signing a $15.6 million, three-year contract, Perez went 2-10 with a 7.43 ERA last season.

"This is the first game," Perez said. "I'm still working. It's no big deal."

All five games in Arizona were wiped out by rain Monday. In other Florida games:

Expos 11, Mets 6
At Jupiter, Fla., Hideki Irabu pitched three innings in his first start of the spring and had an RBI single in a seven-run first. New York starter Bobby J. Jones failed to retire a batter, allowing seven runs, six hits and three walks. Rondell White had a two-run double and Chris Widger a two-run single before Irabu's hit.

Braves 12, Blue Jays 2
At Dunedin, Fla., Tom Glavine pitched two hitless innings in his first outing of the spring, and Brian Jordan homered off Gary Glover. Toronto reliever John Bale was ragged for five runs, including a three-run homer by Marcus Giles. Jeff Horn hit a two-run homer for Atlanta in a three-run ninth off Lance Painter.

Astros 8, Cardinals 7
At Kissimmee, Fla., Daryle Ward, who has bounced between the major leagues and the minors, hit his second home run in two days. Ward, the son of former big leaguer Gary Ward, hit a solo home run off reliever Mike Matthews in the seventh to put the Astros ahead 7-6. He homered Sunday off five-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens.

Pirates 11, Reds 4
At Bradenton, Fla., Aramis Ramirez, trying to win Pittsburgh's job at third base, went 3-for-4 with a grand slam off Dennys Reyes that capped a six-run seventh. Ramirez is 6-for-10 (.600) with seven RBIs in his first three games this spring.

Phillies 5, Tigers 4
At Clearwater, Fla., shortstop Kevin Polcovich botched a potential game-ending double play for Detroit's sixth error, allowing two runs to score. Detroit made three errors in the ninth inning.

Marlins 6, Royals 4
At Haines City, Fla., Josh Beckett, Florida's top draft pick last year, pitched two hitless innings and Mendy Lopez hit a three-run homer. Carlos Beltran singled twice and drove in two runs for the Royals. Beltran has five RBIs in Kansas City's four games, all losses.

Twins 4, Devil Rays 1
At Fort Myers, Fla., Brad Radke, the subject of trade rumors all spring, allowed one run and three hits in three innings. Radke, unable to get a multiyear contract by his Feb. 20 deadline, was making his second outing of the spring. Tampa Bay's lineup was missing Jose Canseco, Vinny Castilla and Greg Vaughn, who did not make the trip from St. Petersburg.
