In start following no-hitter, New York Yankees' Corey Kluber removed after just three innings

NEW YORK -- Corey Kluber's bid to match Johnny Vander Meer's feat of consecutive no-hitters ended when Toronto's Bo Bichette reached on an infield single with one out in the third on Tuesday night, and the New York Yankees removed the 35-year-old right-hander after the inning.

Two innings later, the team announced that the veteran had tightness in his right shoulder, and will be further evaluated Wednesday. An MRI will be a part of the evaluation.

Coming off a no-hitter at Texas last Wednesday, Kluber opened with 2 1/3 hitless innings before Bichette grounded to shortstop and beat Gleyber Torres' off-line throw from the left-field grass.
