Detroit Tigers' Derek Hill, Akil Baddoo being checked for injuries after scary collision in outfield

BALTIMORE -- Detroit Tigers outfielders Derek Hill and Akil Baddoo were being evaluated for injuries following their frightening collision while chasing a flyball Tuesday night in Baltimore.

Hill and Baddoo both took off after Anthony Santander's drive to left-center field in the eighth inning. Each player reached for the ball -- and then they collided, sending Baddoo's cap flying.

"It was a nasty collision. It was a ball hit probably in the perfect spot for both guys to be going full speed, and both with a chance to catch it,'' Detroit manager A.
