Blair makes precautionary exit after comebacker

Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: This absolutely sucks for Aaron Blair as he was given the opportunity to show what he’s been working on this offseason and late last year — his out-pitch, the slider. Blair threw only five pitches on Saturday afternoon before having to leave the game.

Cesar Hernandez led off the game for the Phillies and on a 2-2 count, he hit a sharp line drive back to the pitchers mound. Blair tried to field the ball, but it hit him right below his glove.
