A really tough scene at Minute Maid Park over the last inning. Albert Almora Jr. of the Cubs hit a hard line-drive foul into the stands that hit a young child. Almora Jr. was extremely shaken up and after the next half inning, he was consoled by MMP security personnel.
According to our sources, the young child was awake, responsive and taken to a local hospital for precautionary reasons. The child is expected to be ok. Thank goodness.
James Click tells us that Jim Crane has told him that the club does not have to stay under the luxury tax line when it comes to making trades at the deadline.

“My legs are still a little tight from the National Anthem.” Brantley, Bregman and Springer were all mic’d up together during the top of the 3rd inning.
