Cubs' Gorzelanny exits early with hand injury, will have more tests

Baseball Betting Lines

09/01/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cubs pitcher Tom Gorzelanny left Wednesday's 5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the third inning with a hand injury.

The Cubs starter exited when a line drive from Pirates outfielder Jose Tabata struck him on the left hand. Gorzelanny was taken for X-rays to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, which proved to be inconclusive but still showed no displacement in the bone. Gorzelanny is scheduled to have a CT scan on Thursday to further determine if there is any damage.

Before the untimely departure, he did not allow a run on two hits with a walk and a strikeout.

Thomas Diamond came on in relief and eventually earned his first major-league victory.
