Twins' Miranda exits after 95 mph fastball to head
Written by I Dig SportsDETROIT -- Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda left Sunday's game after being hit in the head with a 95 mph fastball.
Miranda, the second batter of the game, was facing Detroit Tigers opener Alex Faedo when a 1-2 fastball sailed up and in. The pitch appeared to hit Miranda on the earflap.
He dropped onto his face in the batter's box but was responsive when the Minnesota training staff reached him. After a few moments, he got up and walked off the field under his own power.
Austin Martin pinch ran for him.
Miranda returned to the Twins on Saturday after missing nine games with a low back strain. He is batting .324 with 21 doubles, 9 home runs, 43 RBIs and 35 runs in 77 games this season.
