Scott Rolen leaves Reds-Rockies game after getting in helmet with pitch

Rolen departs after getting hit in helmet

CINCINNATI — Third baseman Scott Rolen left his second game with the Cincinnati Reds in the seventh inning when he was struck on his batting helmet by a pitch from Colorado’s Jason Marquis.

Rolen was at the plate with no one out and Brandon Phillips on first when he was hit by Marquis. He never lost consciousness and walked off the field after less than a minute, escorted by manager Dusty Baker and a trainer. Adam Rosales ran for Rolen.

The five-time All-Star is 0 for 6 since being acquired in a trade with Toronto on Friday.
