ST. LOUIS – The Cubs’ 10-3 win against the Cardinals on Thursday took a bizarre turn early in the game.
In a scary moment in the first inning, Cubs three-hole hitter Ian Happ hit Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras in the head on his back swing. Contreras’ helmet flew off, and he fell to his knees. His hands flew to the cut on his scalp.
Cardinals athletic trainers rushed to help him address the bleeding and led him off the field. On Contreras’ way to the dugout, Happ gave his former teammate a hug.
