Giancarlo Stanton exits Marlins game after being hit by pitch

Giancarlo Stanton has left the Miami Marlins' game Saturday after being hit in the right hand/wrist area with a pitch by Trevor Williams of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Stanton took an inside fastball on a 2-2 Williams pitch off the inside part of his hand/wrist in the top of the first inning in Pittsburgh. He left in obvious pain, with Ichiro Suzuki coming on to replace him in right field.

Stanton has been on a tear of late, hitting .313 this month. His 16 home runs are one behind the National League lead.
