Phillies’ Victorino Says Hand Is Fine
Updated November 4, 2009
If you were watching Game 5 of the World Series Monday night on Fox, you no doubt saw Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino head to the outfield in the eighth inning only to head back to the dugout.
Victorino had been hit in the right hand with a pitch in the first inning and it was thought that Philly skip Charlie Manuel was taking his OF out as a precaution.
Fans of the Phillies can relax as ESPN reports X-rays were negative and Victorino “expects to play in Game 6 . . . Wednesday night.”
Going into Game 6 of the World Series, the Phillies are +172 underdogs.
