DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) -- New York Yankees pitcher Freddy Garcia left Wednesday's game with a bruised right, throwing hand after he was struck by a batted ball.
He was taken to Tampa for precautionary X-rays.
Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion, leading off the bottom of the fourth, drilled the second pitch up the middle. Garcia tried to field it and the ball ricocheted in the air. Encarnacion was safe on the hit and later scored on J.P. Arencibia's home run off reliever Cory Wade.
