Street taken to hospital after hit by liner

Closer Huston Street was transported to a local hospital after being hit in the inner pelvic area by a line drive off the bat of teammate Ian Stewart during batting practice before Tuesday night’s game against the Pirates at Coors Field.

Street, who was playing catch in the right-field corner at the time of the incident, felt some pain down his right leg and fainted “two or three times” in the 15 or so minutes before the ambulance arrived, according to head athletic trainer Keith Dugger. The ball left a black-and-blue mark.

“I think his body actually kind of went into shock, because he actually said he wasn’t in much pain,” Dugger said. “The thing that was kind of alarming is that he said he had ringing in the ears. We don’t know. Sometimes it’s just a sign of shock. He could have held his breath and gotten this natural response.”

Scary.
