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.<\/p>\n

Scherzer lasted just five innings and 67 pitches, departing with the score tied 1-1. The Nats went on to win 7-1.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t anything specific,” Scherzer said. “I don’t have a strain, it’s just the left side was getting tired a lot quicker than usual.<\/p>\n

“Was there a scenario where I could pitched the sixth and be OK? Yeah, that could’ve happened. But if I went out there in the sixth and I got hurt, there’s no way I could come in here and look the guys in the face and say that I made the right decision. Better to be safe than sorry in this scenario.”<\/p>\n

Mets manager Buck Showalter said the team is hopeful Scherzer will make his next start.<\/p>\n

“He probably could’ve continued to pitch, but we didn’t think it was a good idea,” Showalter said.<\/p>\n

“He didn’t ask to come out. You know Max is never going to do that. … Just didn’t think it was a good idea to push it.”<\/p>\n

Scherzer retired the side in order in the fifth, getting Ildemaro Vargas to tap the ball back to him for an inning-ending groundout. Upon entering the Mets’ dugout, he was seen walking down the tunnel toward the clubhouse with a team trainer following closely behind him.<\/p>\n

Scherzer, who was replaced by Tommy Hunter to start the sixth, allowed one run on three hits with five strikeouts and one walk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
