Newz(AP) — Athletics first baseman Nick Kurtz left Wednesday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox with a bruised forearm after being hit by a pitch. Kurtz was batting in the first inning with a 3-2 count when he was struck on the left forearm by a 95 mph sinker thrown by Red Sox starter Patrick Sandoval. Kurtz had just come off the injured list on Saturday after being out with a right thumb sprain.
Kurtz is batting .260, leads the A’s with 21 home runs and is third in the majors with 77 walks. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb Source
