DETROIT — In the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader, a scary scene unfolded.
In the top of the sixth, Miguel Cabrera’s 99.6-mph comebacker struck Braves pitcher Jesse Chavez on the left shin bone. Chavez immediately went down, and stayed there for a couple moments.
Eventually, athletic trainers George Poulis and Jeff Stevenson had to carry Chavez off the field. They held up his left leg and walked him toward the dugout. Chavez couldn’t put any weight on that leg.
