A scary moment in MLB last night as Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Archie Bradley was helped off the field after getting hit in the face by a line drive.
Caution — It looks brutal:

Miraculously, it doesn’t look like he suffered a concussion or any broken bones in the incident, but he does have one heckuva swollen face:

And Bradley is in good spirits, tweeting this to his followers:

After getting checked out at the hospital, Bradley returned to the stadium in time to see the end of the game where the Diamonbacks beat the Colorado Rockies, 12-5.
Maybe getting hit in the face was good luck?
