Pedro Martinez did a nice job dodging the dangerous bats. Carlos Delgado wasn’t so fortunate.

Martinez pitched four scoreless innings in his spring training debut while Delgado needed four stitches to close a bloody gash in his arm after a freak accident as the New York Mets beat Detroit 7-4 in a split-squad game Sunday.

Martinez had an earlier exhibition start rained out and skipped another because it would’ve meant a three-hour trip across the state.

“I’m happy about getting out there and facing some real hitters,” Martinez said. “I’m right where I want to be.”

Delgado, one of many Mets already injured this spring, definitely was in the wrong spot.

The slugger hit an RBI double in the third inning and later took a lead off third base.

Brady Clark swung and broke his bat, and the jagged barrel sailed down the line and speared Delgado on the outside of his right forearm. Right away, his arm was covered in red streams.

“It was a lot more blood than I wanted to see,” Delgado said.

Delgado immediately left the game and exited with a small bandage. He was previously scheduled to be off Monday and expected to be out a couple of days.

Delgado said he was watching Clark’s infield popout and didn’t see trouble headed in his direction. When he spotted the flying bat, he tried to twist his body but it was too late.
