Cardinals CF Dexter Fowler bruises knee crashing into wall on homer

ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals center fielder Dexter Fowler bruised his left knee against the Pittsburgh Pirates when he crashed into the wall trying to catch a long drive by Adam Frazier that turned into an inside-the-park home run.

Frazier's shot off John Brebbia in the seventh inning Saturday night hit just a foot from the top of the wall. After banging into the fence, Fowler crumpled to the ground and stayed down as Frazier circled the bases.

Fowler was replaced in center by Randal Grichuk.
