As tempers cool, Fish, Crew show concern for Stanton

Brewers pitcher Mike Fiers fought tears from the moment he began discussing the 88-mph fastball that sailed high and tight, striking Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton on his left cheekbone. Stanton, a leading contender for the National League MVP Award, suffered multiple facial fractures, dental damage and a laceration that required stitches as a result of a chilling moment in the fifth inning of Wednesday’s 4-2 Brewers win over the Marlins at Miller Park. Stanton remained hospitalized in Milwaukee overnight.
