The Oakland A’s had a scary moment early in their game on Tuesday.
In the bottom of the 2nd inning, a Chicago White Sox batter hit a 100 mph line drive directly back toward the mound, and the ball drilled starting pitcher Chris Bassitt in the head.
It appeared to hit him in the right side of the head, around the ear or temple area. He stayed down on the ground for a few minutes while the trainers attended to him, and the towel they held against his head appeared to be soaking up blood.
