Yankees Pitcher Bryan Mitchell Leaves Game after Line Drive to the Face

Scary scene at Yankee Stadium as pitcher Bryan Mitchell took a line drive to the face.

In the second inning in New York, Eduardo Nunez hit a line drive back directly into Yankees rookie pitcher Bryan Mitchell's face. He went down immediately and there was a lot of blood when cameras showed him holding his head. The trainer Steve Donahue came out and helped him cover his face as he walked him the field. It was a pretty jarring scene, you can hear the crowd instantly gasp when it happened, but hopefully he will be OK.
