During Monday night's game against the Pirates, Cardinals outfielder Stephen Piscotty was taken off the field on a stretcher following an absolutely horrific collision with teammate Peter Bourjos in the seventh inning. As both Cardinals players raced towards the gap to track down a ball off the bat of Josh Harrison headed towards the gap, Piscotty's face made contact with Bourjos' knee.
