Walker exits Wednesday's game with apparent leg injury

Mets second baseman Neil Walker exited Wednesday's game against the Cubs with an apparent leg injury.

Walker pulled up lame and grabbed his left leg while trying to beat out a bunt in the third inning. He was replaced in the lineup by Lucas Duda, and T.J. Rivera slid over from first base to second.

Walker, who went 0-for-1 against Mike Montgomery, is hitting .270 this season with nine home runs and 33 RBIs.
