Velasquez exits with injury in second inning

MIAMI -- Phillies starter Vince Velasquez left Tuesday's game at Marlins Park with an undisclosed injury after retiring just four batters. His velocity was down -- his final pitch a 90.9-mph four-seam fastball to J.T. Realmuto in the second -- after throwing a 95-mph heater to Giancarlo Stanton to get a first-inning strikeout looking.

Velasquez exited the game with one out in the second after giving up a home run to Marcell Ozuna, followed by a double to Justin Bour.

Three of his four outs were fly balls, and Velasquez threw only fastballs (16) and changeups (3) in the short stint.
