What is the story about?
There was a scary moment in the sixth inning where Rockies right fielder Tyler Freeman took a 98.2 mph cutter off the helmet from Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski.
The extra helmet flap helped, but it hit him directly on the ear. Luckily, Freeman turned his head so it didn’t hit under the visor.
He was immediately embraced by catcher William Contreras and met by the Rockies coaching staff. He was awake and looking around — and even seen mouthing, “I’m fine” — but Keith Duggar and Heath Townsend
rightfully pulled him out of the game.
Sterlin Thompson entered the game in his place.
This is a developing story and Purple Row will provide more information as it becomes available.
