Twins' Culpepper leaves game after getting hit by pitch; X-rays negative
What happened
Minnesota Twins shortstop Kaelen Culpepper left Saturday’s game against Cleveland in the third inning after getting hit by a pitch. A right-handed hitter, Culpepper was hit in the upper back by a 95 mph fastball from Franco Aleman. On the ground and in pain, Culpepper, who was also hit by a pitch in Friday’s loss, was tended to by trainers but got up and slowly started to make his way toward first base.
