Phillies grounds crew member engulfed by tarp

A Philadelphia Phillies grounds crew member became trapped under the tarp as it was brought out to cover the field during a rainstorm in the middle of Thursday's game at Citizens Bank Park.

The grounds crew member, identified as Danny, was covering the pitcher's mound and slipped as the tarp came across the field. Danny was trapped for over 30 seconds before he was able to make his way out from underneath.
