Asdrubal Cabrera had to leave the Mets’ 7-2 win on Thursday early because of a tight right hamstring. Cabrera was switched out in the order for Gavin Cecchini and Matt Reynolds moved from second to third.
Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a double (that was correctly reversed from an original home run call) and a run scored. He also recorded an assist on the last out in the seventh inning when Reds’ lead-off hitter, Phillip Ervin grounded out against Jeurys Familia.
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, Cabrera said the tightness he felt was in his lower back.
