JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -- The St. Louis Cardinals had two aces when they arrived at spring training. Now, both are hurt.
Chris Carpenter left the Cardinals' 7-1 victory over the Florida Marlins in the third inning Tuesday after feeling a "twinge" in his left hamstring.
Carpenter was diagnosed with a strained left hamstring, but said the injury isn't serious. He said he has never before had a hamstring injury.
The Cardinals' bad luck continued in the next inning when setup man Mitchell Boggs, rushed into the game to replace Carpenter, was escorted off the mound after straining his lower back.
Boggs said his back has been bothering him throughout the spring, but he doesn't think the injury is serious, either.
