WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (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.
