Pitcher John Maine had to leave his start after 5.2 innings of work tonight after injuring his left arm following a pitch to 1B Ryan Howard. SNY’s Ron Darling thought that it might have been a stinger or cramp, but grew worrisome as Maine continued to hold his arm in pain.

We CANNOT afford to lose Johnny. This would hurt much more than a loss.

Update 8:53: SNY’s Gary Cohen is reporting that Maine merely has a cramp and should be ok for his next start.
