Fallout from Albert Almora Jr.'s scary foul ball incident

Almora lines a ball into the stands on the third base side of Minute Maid Park, striking a 2-year-old girl. The toddler was immediately rushed to the hospital, leaving players from both the Cubs and Astros shaken.

Almora, a father of two, was visibly distraught at the incident, putting his hands on his head seeing exactly where the ball was going off his bat.

"That's probably what sucked the most," Almora said after the game. "It's just the way life is. As soon as I hit it, the first person I locked eyes on was her.
