A’s left-handed starter Scott Kazmir left Wednesday night’s start against the Yankees after three innings having allowed just one unearned run.
Kazmir was pulled after suffering left triceps tightness, replaced by reliever Evan Scribner. He’d thrown three innings, allowed two hits and a walk. The only run off him came after an error by third baseman Brett Lawrie.
The Oakland starter has had this kind of trouble before, and generally hasn’t missed much time. As Wednesday was his final start before the four-day All-Star break, Kazmir could get as many as 10-12 days off, if he needed the time.
