Sore Neck Scratches Pedro

Pedro Martinez will not pitch tonight due to more stiffness in his neck. Kyle Kendrick (2-1, 2.70 ERA) will pitch in his place versus the Brewers.

Martinez pulled a muscle in his neck while swinging at a pitch in his last start versus the Braves. He threw Friday off flat ground, but felt he couldn't pitch today. He did say he would go if he had to but the Phillies aren't pressured by the Marlins and Braves so they opted to scratch him.
