NEW YORK (AP)—David Wright(notes) has left the New York Mets game against San Francisco after being hit squarely in the helmet by a 94 mph fastball from Giants starter Matt Cain(notes).

Cain’s 0-2 pitch with none out in the fourth inning of a scoreless game Saturday hit Wright just above the brim of the helmet, sending it flying as Wright fell to the ground in the right-handed batter’s box.

Wright lay motionless on his stomach for over a minute before trainers helped turn him over onto his back. One trainer leaned in close as Wright was on his stomach, talking to the third baseman. After Wright was turned over, he sat up and a trainer shone a light in his eyes.

Wright was helped to his feet and walked off the field with limited help. Fans gave him a loud ovation.

Cain, who had thrown just seven balls in the first three innings, walked halfway in toward the plate and sat in a crouch as trainers attended to Wright. Bochy visited the mound at the end of the 3-minute delay.

Fernando Tatis(notes) ran for the All-Star starter and stayed in the game at third.

That sucks to read about. Hopefully Wright will be alright and return soon.
