New York Mets ace right-hander Max Scherzer left his start Wednesday night against the St.Louis Cardinals with two outs in the sixth inning due to discomfort in his left side.<\/p>\n

The team announced that he would undergo testing on Thursday to explore the issue.<\/p>\n

Scherzer was ahead 0-1 on Albert Pujols when he sailed a slider out of the strike zone.The 37-year-old three-time Cy Young Award winner almost immediately signaled for the dugout.<\/p>\n

SNY’s cameras captured Scherzer making a throat-slashing motion and appearing to say, “I’m done.” Pitching coach Jeremy Hefner, manager Buck Showalter and a trainer trotted out of the dugout, and Scherzer left with the trainer after a brief consultation.<\/p>\n

Scherzer, signed a three-year, $130 million deal in the offseason, wound up as the winning pitcher as the Mets prevailed 11-4.He allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts in 5 2\/3 innings Wednesday. Adam Ottavino relieved Scherzer and received credit for striking out Pujols.<\/p>\n

Scherzer is 5-1 with a 2.54 ERA through eight outings, and he is serving as the Mets’ No.1 starter in the absence of Jacob deGrom.<\/p>\n

Scherzer had his Mets debut delayed a day due to a mild hamstring injury. He didn’t pitch as scheduled in Game 6 of last year’s National League Championship Series because he was still battling residual soreness from his appearance in Game 5 of the NL Division Series, when he earned the save for the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n

Scherzer also battled a neck injury during the 2019 World Series.He was slated to start Game 5 for Washington but got pushed back to best browser game<\/a> 7, when he tossed five innings of two-run ball as the Nationals beat the Houston Astros to win the championship.<\/p>\n
