Oakland Athletics outfielder Billy Burns left Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants with a testicular contusion.
Leading off the fifth inning, Burns went down quickly after the Jake Peavy pitch below bounced off of the ground and hit him in the groin.

Despite the obvious pain, Burns managed to finish his at-bat before getting replaced by Mark Canha in the fourth inning.
#Athletics Billy Burns wanted to vomit after being hit, but didn't. Wants to play tomorrow but probably won't.
