PHILADELPHIA -- In his second start as a Phillie, Clay Buchholz left with a right forearm strain with one out in the top of the third inning Tuesday night against the Mets at Citizens Bank Park.
He left with the Phillies facing a 5-1 deficit with a runner on second, having allowed a three-run home run to Yoenis Cespedes in the first and two more runs in the second.
That inherited runner scored, and six earned runs were charged to Buchholz in 2 1/3 innings on eight hits, a walk and two strikeouts.
