Hello baseball fans!
Everyone keep Oakland Athletics pitcher Brandon McCarthy and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Yesterday he was hit on the side of the head by a line-drive off the bat of Angels short stop Eric Aybar. According to the A’s beat writers, he was taken to the hospital shortly after for a CT scan, and had surgery last night for a brain contusion and skull fracture. Reports state that he’s awake and alert now, resting in a bay area hospital.
The A’s have the day off after going 3-3 on their home stand which included a sweep of the Red Sox, and being swept by the Angels. Though the Angels series wasn’t their best offensive performance, the A’s entered Thursday tied for AL wild card with the Baltimore Orioles who take on their division rival Yankees this weekend.
