(CNN) A line drive struck Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Chris Bassitt in the face Tuesday in Chicago, dropping him to his knees for several minutes before he was carted off the field on his way to a hospital. White Sox outfielder Brian Goodwin hit a pitch right back at Bassitt in the second inning with an exit velocity of 100.1 mph, MLB.com reported . He was conscious "the entire time," A's manager Bob Melvin told reporters after the game, a 9-0 White Sox victory. That included Goodwin, who followed his team's own tweet of concern with: "Most definitely, Chris, you are in my prayers for sure brother." Most definitely, Chris, you are in my prayers for sure brother 🙏🏾 https://t.co/tR6478Tb43 — B. Goooood 🏁 (@thatBoy_GOOD1) August 18, 2021
