Flashback for Clement?

In the third, Chicago's Carl Everett scorched a line drive right back at Matt Clement.

The ball ricocheted off the inside of his right thigh and glanced off the inside of his left thigh as he completed his follow-through. The ball landed near the mound. Clement reacted quickly, picked up the ball and threw out Everett at first.

The training staff visited Clement, who shook it off and stayed in the game.

On July 26, Clement escaped serious injury on another liner back at him hit by Tampa Bay's Carl Crawford. The ball struck Clement on the right side of the head, just above his ear.
