Brewers' Frelick leaves game after crashing into wall

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick left his team’s game with the New York Mets on Friday night after his left side banged into the wall while trying to make a leaping catch of a foul ball.

Frelick was attempting to catch a drive from Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez that hit the sidewall in foul territory. Frelick landed awkwardly after the collision with the wall.

He remained down for several minutes as Brewers medical staff went out to deep right field to check on him. Frelick eventually walked slowly toward the dugout before being helped into the clubhouse.

Frelick is batting .259 with a .320 on-base percentage, two homers, 32 RBIs and 18 steals in 145 games this season for the NL Central-champion Brewers, who will open a wild-card playoff series on Tuesday.
