Royals' Erceg leaves vs. Tigers after hit to foot
Written by I Dig Sports
DETROIT -- Kansas City Royals pitcher Lucas Erceg was helped off the field after getting hit on the left foot with a hard grounder in Friday night's game against the Detroit Tigers.
Detroit's Riley Greene smoked a 109.1 mph grounder in the seventh inning that caromed off Erceg's foot toward Kansas City first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino. Greene beat Pasquantino to the bag for a single.
X-rays were negative and Erceg has a left foot contusion, the team said.
The 29-year-old Erceg stayed on the ground for a few minutes and then limped off the field with the help of an athletic trainer and manager Matt Quatraro.
Erceg had thrown 6 scoreless innings over eight outings this season before Friday.
