Stephen Vogt Leaves Game After Frightening Home-Plate Collision With Chad Kuhl

Brewers catcher Stephen Vogt was pulled from tonight’s game against the Pirates after a rough collision at the plate with Pittsburgh pitcher Chad Kuhl.

Kuhl—on base with his first hit of the year—was trying to score from second on a single to right field. But the throw just beat him home, and Kuhl came careening into the plate and slamming into the catcher. (Vogt held onto the ball, and Kuhl was called out.) After a scary few moments being attended to by trainers, Vogt was able to get to his feet with some assistance and to walk off the field under his own power. Kuhl remained in the game.
