Delco's Jerry Crawford injured


In the top of the first inning in Houston, the Phillies game has been delayed for five minutes (going on 10)... Facing a 2-2 count from Cole Hamels, Houston slugger Carlos Lee hit homeplate umpire and Delaware County native Jerry Crawford on his back swing.

Crawford nearly fell down, and slowly walked to the Astros dugout holding his head.

Crawford did not lose consciousness... but he did not return to the game.

On the second pitch after play resumed, Lee launched a three-run home run to left field to put the Astros up 3-0 and snap Hamels' career-high 19-inning scoreless streak.
