    Reds closer Aroldis Chapman hit in the face with line drive

    Looks pretty serious.

    Game cancelled.

    Medical staff, ambulances--- doesn't look good.

    Salvy Perez the Royals catcher nailed him right in the head with a line drive...man that some scary stuff...dude is on the way to the hospital...The Royals radio people are saying that Chapman was conscious when he left the field...which is a good thing

    Yeah I started thread too, first time I ever saw a game shortened due to "injury". Do you have any video? Nothing on You Tube yet.

    That Reds game was brutal. Just saw where an ump was sent to the hospital after catching a liner with his crotch
