In the seventh inning of Monday’s Pirates-Cardinals game at PNC Park, Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty left the game on a stretcher after a collision with Peter Bourjos.
Here’s the video. It’s not a pretty sight, as Piscotty took Bourjos’ knee in his face.
Thankfully, Piscotty did wave to the crowd when leaving the field, but this did not look good.
Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.
UPDATE: The Cardinals reported that Piscotty has a head contusion and that all tests were negative.
Stephen Piscotty suffered a head contusion…is being taken to local hospital for further exams.
