Fan hit by foul ball, taken to hospital during White Sox game

A fan was hit in the face by a foul ball and taken to a hospital during Tuesday night's Tigers-White Sox game in Chicago.

A White Sox spokesperson said the middle-aged male fan was transported to Rush University Medical Center for treatment.

The man was sitting in the first row on the first base side at Guaranteed Rate Field -- well beyond where the netting extends to the end of the camera box past the dugout-- when he was struck by Jeimer Candelario's foul leading off the Tigers ninth.

The game was held up for a couple minutes while the man, who was bleeding profusely, was treated at his seat.
