Harper 'all good' after 96.9 mph heater to face

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper said he was "all good" after leaving Wednesday night's game against the Cardinals because he was hit in the face by a 96.9 mph fastball from reliever Genesis Cabrera.

Harper walked off the field in St. Louis on his own accord in the sixth inning, displaying some blood on the left side of his nose.

In a video he posted to social media after Philadelphia's 5-3 win, Harper said his scans "came back good."

"Everything feels good," he said. "Everything came back good -- CT, all that kind of stuff. So, face is still there. We're all good. See you guys soon."

After hitting Harper with his first pitch of the inning, Cabrera then hit the next batter, Didi Gregorius, leading to warnings for both benches. Phillies manager Joe Girardi came out of the dugout to complain to plate umpire Chris Segal and got kicked out of the game.

Matt Joyce was a pinch runner for Harper, and Gregorius remained in the game. Cabrera allowed an RBI single to Andrew McCutchen in the next at-bat before being relieved. Per MLB rules, Cabrera had to face one more hitter to meet the minimum 3-batter threshold before Cardinals manager Mike Shildt was able to pull him.

"[Cabrera] should be thrown out. I understand why they give the warnings but if a guy hits a guy in the face and a guy in the ribs, with two pitches, he's gotta go, right?" Girardi said. "If you're really protecting players, he's got to go. Just for the safety of the players."

Harper grounded out and struck out in his first two at-bats. Gregorius doubled and struck out in his two at-bats.
