Sunday, there was a scary moment in the 9th inning of the series finale for the St. Louis Cardinals who were playing against the Philadelphia Phillies, when Eric Bruntlett collided at home plate with Yadier Molina. With runner’s at 3rd and 1st base, Phillies’ SS Jimmy Rollins hit a chopper to the 1st baseman Chris Duncan who quickly threw it to Yadier Molina at home who tagged out Eric Bruntlett trying to go from 3rd to home. Bruntlett, however, appeared to hit Molina in the head with his elbow and after this Molina fell to the dirt face-first. He lied motionless for several minutes and had to be carted off the field on a stretcher. Yadier Molina remained conscious and was taken to a local hospital to evaluate back and neck problems. He was a potential All-Star for them this season. He was later diagnosed with a mild concussion.
