Cubs right-hander Cade Horton exited the first game of a doubleheader against the Brewers on Monday in the third inning with a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand, the team announced.
After two scoreless innings, with a pair of singles allowed, Horton gave up a solo home run to the Brewers’ Brice Turang and a line-drive double to Caleb Durbin with one out in the third inning.
Cubs head athletic trainer Nick Frangella and manager Craig Counsell jogged out to the mound. After a conversation, Horton threw a warm-up pitch and remained in the game.
He got the next batter, William Contreras, to ground out on a one-hopper to shortstop Nico Hoerner. But then Horton walked Christian Yelich.
Catcher Carson Kelly took a mound visit, and pitching coach Tommy Hottovy joined the battery. Then Horton hit Andrew Vaughn with a pitch in a 2-0 count, missing the zone by a considerable distance on all three pitches of the plate appearance.
Counsell and Frangella joined Horton again, this time pulling him from the game with two outs in the third inning.
Horton, who owns a 3.08 ERA in his rookie season, had allowed one run in his previous five starts combined.
