Batted Ball Strikes McLouth Near Left Eye

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― Nate McLouth left the Pittsburgh Pirates' game against the San Francisco Giants in the bottom of the fourth inning Sunday after being struck near his left eye by a batted ball.

The All-Star center fielder dived for a sinking liner hit by Pablo Sandoval. The ball bounced in front of McLouth and ricocheted off him into left field, allowing three runs to score on the play.

McLouth left with a cut above his left eyebrow that required three stitches, and was replaced by Nyjer Morgan.

McLouth also required treatment from a Pirates trainer after he was hit by a pitch in the third. He stole second, becoming the seventh player in Pittsburgh history to record 20 stolen bases and 20 home runs in a single season.
