Milwaukee Brewers' Eric Thames exits with sore knee after outfield run-in

ST. LOUIS -- Milwaukee Brewers right fielder Eric Thames collided with center fielder Lorenzo Cain while making a catch in the first inning against the St. Louis Cardinals and was later removed from the game.

Thames exited before the bottom of the third inning Friday night with a sore left knee.

Matt Carpenter drove a ball into the right-field gap in the first that Thames caught before running into Cain.

Both players fell to the ground and remained still for a few seconds before getting up on their own.
