Giants pitcher hit in head by ball

Giants reliever Joe Martinez was hit in the head by Mike Cameron’s line drive in the ninth inning but was able to walk off the field Thursday in San Francisco’s 7-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Martinez was struck near the right temple by Cameron’s two-out liner. He left the field under his own power, then was taken to a hospital for a CT scan and evaluation. His forehead was cut and his right eye was swollen.
