A’s starter Jesse Hahn left Tuesday night’s game against Miami just two-plus innings in after a noticeable dip in velocity.

The A’s have not announced a reason for his departure. Hahn did not seem to be injured, showing no discomfort on the pitch before he exited, but after a trainer visited him on the mound with one on and no outs in the third, the right-hander came out and rookie Bobby Wahl took over.

Hahn usually throws his fastball in the 93-94 mph range and occasionally hits 95-95 mph.
