Rangers' Colby Lewis leaves start with triceps cramp

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Colby Lewis left his start Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds with cramping in his right triceps.

What It Means:

Lewis wasn't too effective, allowing six earned runs in five frames. It was a stark contrast to his last outing, when he just missed a no-hitter.

Owner of a 3.21 ERA, Lewis has been getting pretty lucky this season. He's fanning just 5.6 hitters per nine innings, and his .234 BABIP is a career-low mark. Lewis' 4.84 xFIP more accurately portrays how he's pitched.
