Rodriguez suffered "a contusion of the lower left leg" after he was hit by a line drive off the bat of Lance Berkman. X-rays were negative on the leg. Berkman ripped a one-hopper down the third-base line that apparently caught Rodriguez on the left shin as he was taking grounders. "Look out!" Berkman shouted as the ball left his bat. FOX announcer Joe Buck admitted during the national telecast that he may have distracted Rodriguez by saying hello to him from the dugout. "It was not like I was trying to hit him in the teeth and I hit low," Berkman said. "You don't want to hit anybody but you certainly don't want to hit your four-hole hitter. I was like, 'Berkman's contributions to the Yankees so far have not been the greatest.' Obviously, I didn't mean to do it." |
