Maine leaves with cramping

Aside from the fourth inning John Maine cruised through 5.2 innings of work, putting to rest any concerns that he had a tired arm. In the fourth Maine hit Shane Victorino and became way to concerned with the runner which resulted in him walking Utley and then a three run shot by Howard. Maine would settle back in until the sixth when he started grabbing at his left forearm. Maine would leave the game but feels he's fine and won't miss his next start. The injury is being described as cramping and was in his non-throwing arm.

John Maine walked off the mound in the sixth inning after grabbing his left (non-throwing) elbow in pain three times. The Mets called the odd injury a forearm cramp. Maine said the cramp was in his elbow." At least it's not my right arm," he said. source Newsday
