The ball bounced off Smith's glove and into his face as it came out of the shadows in front of the mound. Young ended up with an infield single.
The Brewers' medical staff ran out to see Smith, who walked off on his own with a towel to his mouth and nose. He was replaced by right-hander Todd Coffey.
