Overview

• Lukes fouled a pitch off the top of his right knee in the first inning and finished the 12-pitch plate appearance with a walk.
• He exited in the fourth inning of Game 1 and was replaced in right field by Myles Straw.
• Manager John Schneider said X-ray and CT scans were negative for a fracture, confirming a right knee contusion.
