Boston’s Houck hit on face after liner drive

The Boston Red Sox player Tanner Houck got stitches and visited a hospital after leaving the match against the New York Yankees when a line drive ended up on his face.

“He was conscious during the whole thing, so that’s a very positive sign,” head coach Alex Cora shared after the Red Sox’s 15-5 victory. ” Tanner got cut and is in the hospital now getting more tests. We will have more information in a few hours. But it could end up a lot worse.”

“Houck knew that he was on the field, and he kept saying he was all right,” the manager added.

Scary sight at Fenway as Tanner Houck gets hit in the face.

He did walk off under his own power and seemed to motion to his teammates.
