MILWAUKEE (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Evan Meek was hit in his pitching arm by a line drive from Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun and left Sunday’s game.
Meek was struck in the eighth inning and walked off with trainers gingerly holding his right arm.
Meek was facing his fourth batter when Braun hit a 1-2 pitch that struck Meek, deflected off his chest and rolled to third for a single. Meek was knocked backward by the impact.
