Collision After Heroics | Cleveland Guardians News

A heart-stopping collision in left field during Friday’s game sent Guardians’ Angel Martínez to the ground and forced him out of the game, just hours after Brayan Rocchio delivered a legendary Game One with a grand slam and walk-off homer. The scary play unfolded in the fourth inning as both players tangled chasing a shallow fly ball — Martínez landed hard on his back, Rocchio on his side — prompting immediate medical attention.

A moment of triumph turned tense in an instant — baseball’s rollercoaster, captured in one bruising play. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
