Victorino Survives Collision
CF Shane Victorino was sprinting to catch David Wright’s fly ball to the gap in the fourth inning Tuesday when he smashed into 6-foot-5 RF Jayson Werth, who couldn’t stop himself before the collision. Victorino, 5-foot-8, held the ball but lost his breath and stayed on the ground as Werth summoned the trainers. “I said to Jayson, ‘I have a (neck) stinger,’” said Victorino, who stayed in the game. “If I relaxed, it would come back. He was worried when I said I hurt my neck. I was fine once I caught my breath. When you’re 6-5 and 5-8, you know who wins that battle. “The Flyin’ Hawaiian is solid start in all Rotisserie leagues at this point. His presence in an awesome lineup and a great home hitter’s park makes him a sleeper in Head-to-Head leagues when he is going well, too. (CBS Sports)
