Oakland A’s shortstop Elvis Andrus and outfielder Chad Pinder collided with one another on a frightening play during Tuesday’s game against the Detroit Tigers.
Willi Castro hit a flare to shallow left field during the top of the fifth inning, and both Andrus and Pinder tried to make a play on it. The two sprinted full-speed at one another. Pinder dove at the same time Andrus slid, which caused Andrus to inadvertently kick his teammate in the head. You can see the play below:
Fortunately, Pinder and Andrus were both able to stay in the game. Neither appeared to suffer a significant injury.
