Zito hit by line drive near left elbow, forced to leave start vs. Padres

San Francisco starter Barry Zito was forced to leave Friday night's game at San Diego when he was hit near his left elbow by a line drive by Adrian Gonzalez in the sixth inning.

Zito grimaced and didn't go after the ball, which landed between the mound and third base. He was checked by a trainer and immediately left the game.
