MIAMI (AP) -New York Mets right-hander John Maine left Monday’s game at Florida as a precaution after 4 1-3 innings because of stiffness in his right shoulder, the team said.
Maine departed after throwing 75 pitches. He took a 2-0 lead into the fifth inning, but when he fell behind leadoff batter John Baker 2-0, the trainer and manager Jerry Manuel went to the mound.
Maine stayed in the game, and Baker homered on the next pitch. After Maine retired the next batter, Manuel removed him.
Maine allowed four hits, struck out six and walked one.
