Known masher Hunter Pence smoked a ground ball that bounced into the eye (area) of Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera in the first inning of today’s game. There was quite a bit of blood, but Cabrera appeared to shake it off pretty well, all things considered. He would later be taken to the hospital for stitches and further evaluation, according to the Phillies’ broadcast.
