Rays OF Jennings, Upton collide, carted off

Tampa Bay Rays outfielders Desmond Jennings and B.J. Upton were carted off after colliding in left-center field in the top of the fourth inning of their game against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday.

The team said they were taken out for precautionary reasons with ''general soreness.''

With Hanley Ramirez and Gaby Sanchez on base for the Marlins, Austin Kearns hit a fly ball to deep left-center and both Jennings and Upton chased after it, leading to the hard collision. The play was ruled an inside-the-park home run for Kearns, giving the Marlins a 4-0 lead.
