David Fry hit in the face Photo : APGuardians designated hitter David Fry was taken off the field on a cart Tuesday night after being struck in the face by a pitch while attempting to bunt in the sixth inning. However, Skubal’s pitch went up-and-in, striking Fry in the nose and mouth area before bouncing off his bat. Fry immediately put his hands over his face and collapsed in the batter’s box. After several minutes, he walked off under his own power, assisted by trainers, while keeping a towel over his face as he boarded the cart. A visibly shaken Skubal removed his glove and cap, and Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt, along with trainers, rushed to Fry’s aid.
