 The incident occurred in the fifth inning, where Stanton checked
his swing at a pitch from Milwaukee's Mike Fiers that sailed inside
and struck him below the left eye.
Stanton suffered a laceration and was bleeding before being treated.
He will undergo X-rays to reveal the extent of the injury.
The 24-year-old outfielder is enjoying a strong season for the
Marlins, and leads the National League with 37 home runs and the
Majors with 105 RBIs.
Once Stanton left the game, won 4-2 by the Brewers, pinch-hitter
Reed Johnson was hit on the hand by Fiers, causing both benches to
clear. Miami's Casey McGehee and Marlins manager Mike Redmond were
both ejected following the melee.
