DETROIT (AP) — Oakland Athletics third baseman Scott Sizemore has left a game against the Detroit Tigers after being hit near his left collarbone by a pitch.
Sizemore was squaring around to bunt with two on in the fourth inning Tuesday night when Rick Porcello’s pitch came high and inside. The ball appeared to hit Sizemore just under his left cheek. He was tended to briefly on the field before heading back to the dugout. Sizemore was awarded first base, and Eric Sogard ran for him and remained in the game at third.
Sizemore was traded from the Tigers to the A’s in May for left-handed reliever David Purcey. He’s hitting .247 with four home runs.
