PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter was removed from his start in the third inning Saturday against the New York Mets. Falter walked J.D. Martinez to load the bases with none out in a scoreless game and was immediately visited on the mound by manager Derek Shelton and an athletic trainer. Falter walked off without attempting a warmup pitch. Falter entered the game with a 4-6 record and a 3.87 ERA in 16 starts this season.
