Athletics' Rich Hill: Leaves Sunday's start in the seventh inning with apparently left leg injury

Hill exited Sunday's game in the seventh inning after appearing to tweak his left leg on a pitch.

Analysis:

He was in the middle of an at-bat against Jose Iglesias when he appeared to awkwardly land after a pitch. Hill could be seen telling manager Bob Melvin that he wanted to stay in the game, but with Hill at 104 pitches already, Melvin leaned to the side of caution. Hill was very effective in 6.1 innings, allowing only two earned runs while striking out nine Tigers.
