Brewers Starter Dustin May Hit by Line Drive and Leaves Game After 1 Pitch Against Mets
May left after one pitch when A.J. Ewing’s 106 mph liner hit his shoulder, and the Brewers called it a right scapula contusion.
On Wednesday, Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Dustin May exited his start against the New York Mets after just one pitch, suffering a right scapula contusion when struck by a 106 mph line drive.
The 106 mph liner off A.J. Ewing ricocheted off May, caroming on one hop to third baseman David Hamilton, who threw out the Mets rookie at first.
Milwaukee acquired May from the St. Louis Cardinals at the trade deadline, and the 6-foot-6 right-hander has been a significant member of the division-leading Brewers' rotation.
Left-Hander Robert Gasser replaced May, retiring Francisco Lindor and Bo Bichette to end the first inning as the Brewers, who hold baseball's best record at 81-51, turned to their bullpen.
Making his fourth start for Milwaukee, May became the first major league starter to exit after one pitch since Pablo López with the Miami Marlins on July 2, 2021.
