ATLANTA -- Mets left-hander Steven Matz exited Tuesday night's game against the Braves at SunTrust Park in the bottom of the fourth inning with an apparent injury to a finger on his pitching hand.
Before he exited the game, things were looking good for Matz, who had tossed three scoreless innings and just hit his first double of the season in the top of the fourth. But something about Matz's warmup pitches before the bottom of the frame drew manager Mickey Callaway and the training staff to the mound, and Matz was pulled shortly thereafter.
Matz finished the night allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out two.
