Ryan Weathers strikes out a career
MIAMI (AP) — Ryan Weathers struck out a career-high 10 before departing because of cramps in his left hand, and the Miami Marlins beat the San Francisco Giants 6-3 on Tuesday night.
Weathers (2-1) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. The left-hander warmed up for the seventh, but was replaced by Burch Smith.
“I threw a pitch and both my fingers stayed down,” Weathers said. “It felt like a cramp and then I threw another one and the fingers went down again. I was like, ‘Now is not the time to be cramping,’ but I’m just thankful it was just a cramp.”
Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said Weathers’ hand gestures in warmups was an immediate warning that his outing had ended.
“I hate to say it, but he was like throwing up gang signs when he was out there,” Schumaker said. “He had cramping in his hand and then in his legs. It was like a total body cramping. There was no way we could push him through. He did enough.”
