Overview
- Attempting a bunt on a 2-1 pitch, Fry fouled Tarik Skubal’s 99.1 mph fastball off his bat and into his face, and umpires ruled the play a strike to make the count 2-2.
- Trainers and the team doctor treated Fry on the field before he was taken off on a cart; he waved to the crowd, and the team has not provided a prognosis.
- Skubal appeared visibly shaken and then threw a wild pitch to tie the game before a balk and a groundout put Cleveland ahead.
- George Valera pinch-hit to complete Fry’s at-bat, which went down as a strikeout charged to Fry under scoring rules.
- The Guardians closed out a 5-2 win to pull into a tie for first place in the AL Central with five games remaining in the regular season.
