Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler was not pleased to see Rhys Hoskins hit by a high pitch in Sunday’s 5-1 win over the Atlanta Braves.
“It really pisses me off when balls go off Rhys Hoskins’ chin,” said Kapler, who called Hoskins the “heartbeat” of the Phillies. “Really bugs me.”
Two pitches after Bryce Harper connected on a solo home run off Shane Carle in the seventh inning, the reliever drilled Hoskins on the left shoulder.
Home plate umpire Rob Drake immediately ejected Carle, who after the game left the Braves’ clubhouse before the media was allowed inside.
