Tyler Freeman exits Rockies-Brewers game after being hit in head

Tyler Freeman of the Colorado Rockies is hit with the ball in the helmet during an at-bat in the sixth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers

There was a scary moment in the sixth inning where Rockies right fielder Tyler Freeman took a 98.2 mph cutter off the helmet from Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski.

The extra helmet flap helped, but it hit him directly on the ear. Luckily, Freeman turned his head so it didn’t hit under the visor.

He was immediately embraced by catcher William Contreras and met by the Rockies coaching staff. He was awake and looking around — and even seen mouthing, “I’m fine” — but Keith Duggar and Heath Townsend rightfully pulled him out of the game.

Sterlin Thompson entered the game in his place.
