The pitch occurred in the bottom of the seventh inning at
Chase Field, sending Iannetta to the ground bleeding.
He stayed down for several minutes before he was able to walk
off the field with assistance.
“I think the pitch just got away from their pitcher, and I'll
stand by that,” said Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo.
“Anytime you see one of your family members go through something
like that, it's pretty traumatic. It had a huge impact on our
dugout. He is a veteran, he is well-liked. He's a leader, and he
went down, and it hurts.”
Iannetta finished 1-for-3 with a solo home run as the D-Backs
beat the Pirates 11-4.
