C.J. Cron, the Rockies’ top power bat this year, exited Friday’s game in Arizona after getting hit on the hand.
Cron was batting in the top of the fifth inning against Diamondbacks right-hander Zach Gallen when he was hit by a fastball that ran inside on an 0-2 count. The first baseman, who has appeared in all 84 of Colorado’s games this year, immediately went down to a knee after being plunked and held his hand.
The 95-mph pitch appeared to catch Cron on the top of his left hand, near his wrist area. After being tended to by the trainer, Cron exited the game without walking to first base.
