Houck left the field under his own power, but with a towel over his bloody face.Houck appeared to acknowledge Higashioka as he exited, as he pumped a fist in the direction of the Yankees catcher, who singled on the play.“At first, I was hoping he got a glove on it,” Higashioka said Saturday. “I wasn’t sure exactly if it squared him up, but once I was able to turn around, definitely, it looked like it was pretty bad.“It seemed like he was doing alright as he was walking off the field.
