PITTSBURGH -- Pirates right-hander Jameson Taillon was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of the Milwaukee Brewers' Hernan Perez in the second inning Tuesday night, but the Pittsburgh rookie remained in the game.
With one out, Taillon threw up his glove to try to deflect the line drive, but it struck him in the back of the left side of his head. Taillon immediately fell to the mound as the ball ricocheted into left field.
