The two players were pursuing a fly ball in the seventh
inning when they converged, with Piscotty’s head appearing to
slam into Bourjos’ knee. Piscotty lay motionless on the field
for several seconds and play was delayed for 16 minutes. He
managed to wave at the crowd as he was taken off. The Cardinals
announced that Piscotty has suffered a head contusion and would
undergo further tests at a hospital. Piscotty, 24, has enjoyed
success since being called up from the minor leagues in July.
He is batting .310 with seven home runs and 39 RBIs for the
Cardinals (99-58) who have already clinched a playoff spot.
