Atlanta Braves Matt Kemp and Brandon Phillips exit game in bottom of the 5th

Please, please, please be for precautionary reasons…please. Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Kemp left the game on Thursday night after he singled to center field in the 5th inning. At the time, the Braves were down 6-5, but this happened in the middle of the explosive seven-run inning.

After Kemp singled on an 0-2 fastball pitch to end the Giants starting pitcher Matt Cain‘s night, Danny Santana ran for him.

Kemp exited the game extremely quickly after he got that base hit. It was like he said to himself “crap, here we go again”.
