Jays' Marcum leaves with right forearm numbness

TORONTO (AP) -Blue Jays pitcher Shaun Marcum left the game against Baltimore on Tuesday night after two-plus innings because of numbness in his right forearm.

Left-hander John Parrish replaced Marcum, who missed 27 games in June and July because of soreness in his right elbow. Marcum struggled after returning July 22, going 3-2 with a 6.19 ERA in seven starts, and was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Aug. 22 to work on his location. He had gone 1-0 with a 1.26 ERA in two starts since being recalled on Sept. 2.

Making his 25th start of the season, the right-handed Marcum (9-6) gave up a double and a walk in a scoreless first, then retired the Orioles in order in the second.

He walked ninth-hitter Juan Castro to begin the third, then gave up an RBI-double to Brian Roberts. Manager Cito Gaston and trainer George Poulis came to the mound after Marcum walked Nick Markakis and, after a brief discussion, Marcum and Poulis walked off together.

After giving up a run in two innings, his ERA was 3.39.
