House came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth against the Detroit Tigers with his team up 6-2. He gave up a hit, then got an out, and then was hit in the head by the line drive from John Hicks.
House was on the ground for nearly 20 minutes according to reports before he was carted away.

The final two outs of the game were not played after that scary medical incident.
Ausmus: "There was quite a bit of blood. He was bleeding quite a bit, but he was conscious and he was talking to his trainers."

The news on House seems positive for now.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons says TJ House was talking after the incident. Gibbons also says House indicated "he could feel everything."
