Baltimore's James McCann got hit in the face with a 95 mph fastball and then walked to first base to continue the game

Okay, this is some pretty hardcore stuff right here. Baltimore's James McCann got decked in the face with a 95 mph fastball in the bottom of the first, went down hard initially, and then made his way to first base and played the remainder of the game.

The O's catcher was awarded an RBI for that hit-by-pitch as the bases were loaded; and he would go 1-3 the remainder of the game, scoring on a home run hit by teammate Anthony Santander.

The rumor mill says he likely suffered a broken nose, but we'll have to wait for the CT scan before we make any assumptions about that.
