Brian McCann is gonna be a little sore for a couple days after being plowed over by Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino on Sunday.
Ryan Howard singled to right in the sixth inning to bring Victorino trucking around third base. Jeff Francoeur's throw from the outfield was on time and on target, but the Atlanta Braves catcher couldn't hold on during the collision at home.
He sustained a mild concussion and is listed as day-to-day.
"I've got a headache right now," said McCann, who expects to be back in "three or four days."Too bad for the Braves, who could probably use his career .259 average against the St. Louis Cardinals for the upcoming series.
Also, does Shane Victorino talk with his mouth full? Oh, no questions asked.

That was a hard hit, but 4 days? C'mon.
He's lucky he's not mentally retarded after a head-to-head hit like that.
No questions asked, that pic is awesome.
It makes more sense for him to take 4 days off than it does to pull a Ryan Church and have issues further down the road.
