Victorino Hurt by Burnett Early in World Series Game Five
The Flyin' Hawaiian Victorino was drilled on a first-inning fastball from A.J. Burnett and left briefly in discomfort. He remained in the game, scored on Chase Utley’s three-run homer, and later exited in the eighth as Ben Francisco took his center-field duties. X-rays were negative, but his wrist woes lingered.
