CINCINNATI -- The start of the Reds' game vs. the Cubs on Wednesday took a scary turn three batters into the afternoon. Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton had to exit after being hit in the face by a ball trying to make a catch.
Chicago had two men on base vs. pitcher Cody Reed when Anthony Rizzo hit a 1-1 pitch to left-center field. Both Hamilton and left fielder Adam Duvall converged on the play, with the ball skipping off of Duvall's glove and hitting Hamilton in the face as he slid across the outfield grass.
