NEW YORK — Arizona reliever Kevin Ginkel escaped with only a bruise when hit on the inside of his left knee by a 98.3 mph comebacker off the bat of the New York Mets ’ Brandon Nimmo in
The 30-year-old right-hander fell to the ground and was down for about two minutes as manager Torey Lovullo came to the mound along with an athletic trainer. Ginkel was able to walk off the field, and X-rays were negative. “Initially I thought it was bad, but after lying there for a second, I could feel my knee was not like in pain but it was just stiff and sore,” Ginkel said. “Hopefully in another day or so, it should be fine.”
A six-year major league veteran, Ginkel got three outs for the win. He is 3-1 with a 4.09 ERA and five saves in 23 relief appearances this season.“I’m just happy Gabby was able to make the play,” Ginkel said. “When I was down on the ground, I was like: ‘We get someone out?’” Ginkel had relieved rookie starter Slade Cecconi with two outs in the fifth inning. Bryce Jarvis replaced Ginkel.
