According to
Mark Feinsand, Alex Rodriguez left tonight's game because his sore right groin started cramping up. A-Rod said that as soon as he missed Adam Jones' grounder in the first he knew he was done for the night.
"Not only did I not make a play, it was a routine play. It's a play you make 10 out of 10 times. I just locked up," Rodriguez said. "At that point, I pointed to 'Nino.' I had warned him about 15 minutes before the game to make sure he was ready, and when I got back the ball back from Jeter, I looked at him and said, 'You're in there.'"

"I think we've all felt it at some point," Rodriguez said. "Sometimes you wake up and you get a cramp in your calf or your hammy or whatnot. It's frustrating because there's no pain. But these cramps, we've got to figure them out."
To figure them out, A-Rod will be headed to see Dr. Chris Ahmad tomorrow in New York, and may also meet with Dr. Marc Philippon.
