ATLANTA - Scary, scary moment in the third inning Saturday night in Atlanta. J.T. Realmuto crushed a line drive back up the middle that hit Braves left-hander Sean Newcomb on the side of the head/neck area so hard that it ricocheted all the way from the mound into the Phillies' dugout.
The play was scored a ground-rule double, but that's not what matters, what matters is Newcomb's health. He was examined by the Braves' training staff and quickly removed from the game. Touki Toussaint took over.
Newcomb was wide-eyed as Braves trainers checked on him. He walked off the field under his own power.
