The Toronto Blue Jays took on the St Louis Cardinals and a scary moment took place at the start of the game which resulted in a serious injury for Joey Loperfido.
Blue Jays Joey Loperfido has scary injury against the Cardinals
In the first inning of today's game against the Cardinals, Blue Jays outfielder Joey Loperfido slammed into the outfield wall in an awkward way trying to track down a ball and left the game with an apparent neck/head injury.
The good news is that Loperfido left the game on his own two feet with the Blue Jays medical staff and manager John Schneider which is a necessity with an injury like this.
Joey Loperfido pulled from the game as a precaution after crashing hard into the CF wall with his head/shoulder.
