New York Mets right-hander Max Scherzer left his start earlier than expected Saturday against the Washington Nationals because he felt « fatigued » on his left side, the team said.
Scherzer lasted just five innings and 67 pitches, departing with the score tied 1-1. The Nats went on to win 7-1.
Scherzer said afterward that it was a « precautionary move, » given the oblique strain that caused him to land on the injured list earlier this season.
