Giles leaves game after collision with Prior

CHICAGO - Atlanta Braves second baseman Marcus Giles was forced to leave Friday&#39;s game against the Chicago Cubs with a mild concussion after a violent collision with Mark Prior while trying to field a grounder. <br> <br> With two outs in the second inning, Prior was running from first on a grounder hit to Giles when the two slammed into each other on the basepath. Prior was called out for interference. <br> <br> Prior&#39;s left knee appeared to hit Giles flush in the face as the Cubs pitcher toppled over Giles, falling on his right shoulder. <br> <br> After laying on the ground for a couple minutes, a wobbly Giles walked off the field and was replaced by Mark DeRosa. <br> <br> Giles was taken to a hospital for further tests. <br> <br> Prior grabbed his shoulder after the collision, wincing with pain, but eventually walked off the field to cheers. Prior stayed in the game, and didn&#39;t seem to be affected. He struck out two of the next three batters he faced. <br> <br> Prior and Giles were picked for the All-Star team, a first for both players.
