Notes & reviews

Will Rhymes was hit on the right forearm by a Franklin Morales fast ball (95 mph); there was swelling immediately with the stitch marks from the ball visible on his arm; he went to 1B but then fainted as 1B coach George Hendrick tried to hold him up; Rhymes was taken off the field and his arm x-rayed; he fainted due to an adrenaline rush
