A scary collision with the wall down the left-field line resulted in an early, unplanned exit from the Milwaukee Brewers' Brandon Lockridge in the team's interleague matchup against the New York Yankees at American Family Field on Friday night, May 8.
Lockridge, playing left field, was injured as he was attempting to run down a slicing fly ball off the bat of Cody Bellinger with two outs in the fourth inning.
As Lockridge neared the wall, he dropped down into a slide but didn't do so soon enough, and his momentum carried him into the wall at nearly full speed with his right knee taking the brunt of the blow with the concrete, unpadded portion.
