San Diego Padres first baseman Luke Voit collided with Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson in a scary incident that left Stephenson unconscious. Stephenson left the game shortly after with concussion symptoms.
Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell spoke about the collision in a postgame press conference.
The collision forced the Reds catcher to be removed from the game. He has been placed on the seven-day injured list.
Cincinnati Reds player Tommy Pham calls out Luke Voit
Reds outfielder Tommy Pham launched a towering home run in the first inning of the game.
Tommy Pham has now homered in back-to-back games against the team he used to play for. Pham played for the Padres in 2020 and 2021.
Tommy Pham, who was once teammates with Luke Voit in St.Louis, was not happy with the collision. Pham did not hold back when asked about the collision between Voit and Stephenson after the game.
Luke Voit is a massive human being, and while Tommy Pham is not small by any means, he would likely have an unfavorable matchup in a fight.
It will be interesting to see how today’s game unfolds once the two play one more time in the series. Things may get interesting as Pham, who played for San Diego last year, entices retalitory action from the collision. This will be an entertaining game to watch and can be seen today at 4:10 p.m. EDT on Bally Sports Cincinnati, Bally Sports San Diego, and MLB Extra Innings.
