Emily Baldwin A scary sight occurred tonight in Flushing as Los Angeles Angels pitcher Chase Silseth exited the game in the fourth inning after being struck in the back of the head by an errant throw.
The injury occurred as first baseman Trey Cabbage fired the ball towards third base in an attempt to catch a stealing Francisco Lindor. The ball ricocheted off of Silseth's head towards the dugouts, which allowed Lindor to score on the throwing error.
