Giancarlo Stanton Carted Off Field After Fastball To Face

By Josh Helmuth

Marlins All-Star Giancarlo Stanton took a shot to the face Thursday night while facing the Brewers’ Mike Fiers. The cringe-worthy toss is possibly the worst hit by pitch I’ve ever seen, resulting in the slugger being carted off the field.

Stanton suffered multiple facial fractures and dental damage. With only a couple weeks left in the regular season, it’s likely his season is over. Fiers posted an apology on Twitter to Stanton and his family, saying he was “deeply sorry.”
