Brewers shortstop Jean Segura was hit by a pitch in the helmet by Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles on Tuesday. Segura stayed in the game and ended up popping out. The Brewers lost 5-2.
“I thought my nose was broken,” said Segura, who managed to avoid serious injury last year when struck on the face by a bat being swung on-deck by teammate Ryan Braun.
“I asked the trainer if I’m bleeding or something. It was scary. When I was lying on the ground, I felt pain in my nose. When the trainer said, ‘You’re not bleeding,’ I stayed in the game. Thank god it was nothing serious," per the Journal Sentinel.
Segura went one for two with one run scored, putting his batting average at .400 through two games.
