Mitchell had no time to defend himself.
Mitchell was on the mound when a line drive smashed into him. He was assisted off the field with a towel pressed over his face to stop the bleeding...

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Hiroki Kuroda suffered a concussion when he was hit in the head by a line drive. The 34-year-old Kuroda was not wearing a helmet. The ball blasted off Kuroda's head into the seats behind first base.
