CLEVELAND (AP) — Guardians designated hitter David Fry was carted off the field in the sixth inning of Tuesday night’s 5-2 win over the Tigers after being hit in the face by a pitch as he tried to bunt.
As Fry collapsed in the batter’s box and grabbed his face, a visibly shaken Skubal threw off his glove and cap as Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt and trainers rushed onto the field.
The left-hander then threw a wild pitch to George Valera, who replaced Fry, allowing Cleveland to score.
With the win, Cleveland moved into a tie with Detroit for first place in the AL Central.
The Guardians were 15 1/2 games behind the Tigers on July 8 and still 12 1/2 games back on Aug. 25.
