CHICAGO (AP) — A 32-year-old Chicago man whose nose was broken by a foul ball during a White Sox game was back home Wednesday
Odubel Herrera Jersey , the team said a day after he was struck at Guaranteed Rate Field.The White Sox said the fan was released from the hospital
and recovering.The man was injured in the ninth inning Tuesday night in a game
between Chicago and Detroit. He was seated in the first row on the first base
side, well beyond the netting that extends to the end of the camera box past the
dugout, when a line drive by the Tigers’ Jeimer Candelario hit him in the
face.The man bled profusely and was treated at his seat for several minutes as
play was stopped. He later walked to the first-aid station and was taken to Rush
University Medical Center.“Balls are flying out of here at high rates of
velocity,” White Sox manager Rick Renteria said Wednesday. “I think he tried to
catch it. It’s kind of tough, even for a professional, with the way the ball
flies.”“I’m glad to hear that he’s doing fine and recovering,” he said. LOS
ANGELES (AP) — For the second straight game, the St. Louis Cardinals rallied to
win. And for the second time in the series, they did it on a ninth-inning homer
off All-Star closer Kenley Jansen.“It’s definitely redundant,” Los Angeles
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “Same thing we’ve seen.”The Cardinals clearly
love a rerun.Paul DeJong hit the go-ahead, two-run homer Wednesday night for a
3-1 victory and the Cardinals’ first sweep at Dodger Stadium since 2006.The
Cardinals’ eighth straight road win helped them improve to 17-4 this month, the
most wins in the majors. They’ve homered in 15 straight games, one off the
current season mark of 16 in a row by Philadelphia.“It’s been a snowball effect
for us

Central-leading Cubs.“It shows the resilience of our team. Everyone steps up on
a nightly basis,” DeJong said. “It’s always someone new coming through.”For
Jansen, it was the same old story.The Dodgers closer, who became a father for
the third time earlier in the day, gave up consecutive homers to Jedd Gyorko and
Matt Carpenter in the series opener Monday. That was Jansen’s first game back
after missing time because of an irregular heartbeat.This time, Gyorko got a
broken-bat single off Jansen (0-5), and DeJong followed with his 14th homer to
left-center, giving the Cardinals their first lead of the game.“Very
frustrating,” Jansen said. “Got to figure out how to get back out of this
mess.”The Dodgers went quietly in the ninth, with Jordan Hicks striking out Cody
Bellinger, Brian Dozier and Chris Taylor to earn his fifth save.“Hicks was
filthy,” Cardinals interim manager Mike Shildt said. “That was elite stuff right
there.”Dakota Hudson (4-0) got the win with one inning of relief.Los Angeles
loaded the bases in the eighth, but Manny Machado grounded out to end the
inning. The Dodgers stranded 30 runners while getting swept for the third time
this season.They dropped to 32-33 at home
Josh Bell Jersey , falling below .500 at Dodger Stadium for the first time since June 30. Rookie Tyler O’Neill launched his first career pinch-hit homer in
the top of the eighth off Scott Alexander, tying it 1-all.Jack Flaherty and
Walker Buehler dueled in a stellar matchup of rookie pitchers, although neither
figured in the decision. Flaherty held the Dodgers hitless through 5 1/3
innings. Joc Pederson broke through after Buehler struck out leading off the
sixth, slugging his 19th homer to right field for a 1-0 lead.Flaherty gave up
just that one hit in six innings. The 22-year-old right-hander from nearby
Burbank struck out 10 and walked two on 101 pitches.“It was special,” Flaherty
said. “I wanted to make sure to take in the moment and enjoy it.” Buehler
scattered three hits over seven innings, struck out a career-high nine and
walked two on 104 pitches.The Dodgers have lost three in a row and they dropped
four games behind NL West-leading Arizona in pursuit of a sixth straight
division title.“Things are not working in the ‘pen,” Jansen said. “We need to
figure it out.”TRAINER’S ROOMCardinals: Placed OF Marcell Ozuna on the 10-day
disabled list with right shoulder inflammation after he received a cortisone
injection. INF Yairo Munoz (right wrist sprain) was activated from the
DL.Dodgers: LHP Julio Urias (left shoulder surgery) came out of his 2 1/3-inning
