Padres pitcher Blake Snell hit by drunk driver


A suspected drunk driver struck San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell's vehicle during a traffic stop on Thursday, authorities said, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune's Jeff Sanders and Alex Riggins.

The incident occurred while Snell was stopped for an alleged traffic violation.

The southpaw wasn't injured, although a passenger riding with him did complain of pain. The passenger was evaluated at the scene and avoided a visit to the hospital, a highway patrol person said.
