Braves C McCann leaves game with mild concussion vs. Phils
PHILADELPHIA -- Atlanta Braves All-Star catcher Brian McCann left Sunday's 12-10 loss to the Phillies after Shane Victorino ran him over in the sixth inning.
McCann left with a mild concussion after a collision with Victorino. X-rays were negative and McCann will be re-evaluated Monday.
"I have a headache right now, but I'll be OK," McCann said. "I'm not too worried. I'll probably be out a couple days."
Victorino scored on Ryan Howard's single to right field, jarring the ball loose upon making impact.
It's the second time this season a Phillies player injured a catcher with a collision at the plate. Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina sustained a mild concussion after getting knocked over by Eric Bruntlett on June 15.
