What happened
Tampa Bay Rays starter Griffin Jax took a line drive from Philadelphia's Trea Turner off his lower back and left the game after three innings on Saturday night. The Phillies had a runner on second and two outs when Turner drilled a 104-mph line drive off Jax. The ball ricocheted to shortstop Taylor Walls, who threw out Turner for the third out of the inning.
