HOUSTON — The Houston Astros have agreed to a settlement with the family of a 2-year-old girl struck by a foul ball during a May 29, 2019, Astros-Cubs game at Minute Maid Park, the family’s attorney said Monday.
Attorney Richard Mithoff said the settlement terms with parents Jonathan David Scott and Alexandra Colchado were confidential. The Astros organization had no comment, according to a team spokesman.
Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. hit a line drive into the field-level stands down the third base line, where it hit the girl.
State District Judge Michael Gomez appointed an attorney Monday to make an independent review of the girl’s needs and interests before the judge approves the settlement, Mithoff said.
