Brewers’ starter exits game after 106 MPH liner hits him
Trending
NEW YORK -- Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Dustin May left his start against the New York Mets after one pitch Wednesday night when he was hit in the upper back by A.J. Ewing's line drive.
Ewing's 106 mph liner ricocheted off May as he whirled in an attempt to get out of the way. The ball caromed on one hop right to third baseman David Hamilton, who threw out the speedy Mets rookie at first.
May grimaced as he bent forward, favoring the area around his right shoulder blade and armpit. Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy and an athletic trainer went to the mound to check on May.
After a long consultation, May threw several warmup pitches, raising his arm and shaking his right hand between tosses. He then left the field with Murphy.
The Brewers won the game, 8-1.
