Today's game against the Brewers took a scary turn with two outs in the top of ninth when Brewers center fielder Mike Cameron rocketed a line drive that hit rookie reliever Joe Martinez on the right side of his head, near his temple.
Martinez, who was knocked down, initially stood before crumpling to the ground as team trainers raced to the mound. After a few minutes, he walked off the field, with trainers by his side, as fans gave him a standing ovation.
As he ran toward first base, Cameron looked away in horror. After he pulled into second with a double, he hung his head and was very distraught. According to CSNBA representative Amy Gutierrez, Cameron did not wish to speak when contacted for an interview after the game. Many Giants players gave their thoughts to Cameron after Martinez walked off the field.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to both Martinez and Cameron.
