Fan at Astros game taken to hospital

HOUSTON -- A male fan laid unresponsive for more than 10 minutes in the stands before the Astros' series opener with the D-backs on Friday and was transported from Minute Maid Park to a local hospital, according to an Astros spokesman.

The fan was surrounded by paramedics and first responders, who appeared to be giving him chest compressions before he was transported. As the man was brought up the stairs on a backboard, it appeared a machine continued to give him chest compressions.

The club said it could not provide any further updates, but if information were relayed from local police or fire departments, it was expected to be relayed to reporters.
