PITTSBURGH -- New York Yankees reliever Anthony Misiewicz was struck on the head by a line drive off the bat of Pittsburgh's Ji Hwan Bae and left the game on Friday night.
The Yankees said Misiewicz was "alert and oriented" and was transported to Allegheny General Hospital for further testing.
Bae hit a 100.6 mph liner up the middle with two runners on in the bottom of the sixth inning. The left-handed Misiewicz raised his glove in an effort to catch it. The glove didn't make it in time. The ball hit Misiewicz on the side of his head and rolled into right field.
