PHOENIX -- Brewers outfielder Rymer Liriano was taken from the field on a stretcher after being struck in the face by a pitch during the eighth inning of Sunday's game against the Dodgers at Maryvale Baseball Park.
With one out, a pitch from right-hander Matt West sailed high and tight on Liriano, who appeared to be struck near the left eye. He went down immediately as manager Craig Counsell and head athletic trainer Dan Wright rushed to the scene; Liriano eventually rolled onto his back for treatment.
Medical officials secured Liriano's neck and head before strapping him to a back board and removing him from the field on a cart.
