HOUSTON (AP) --- Arizona's Geraldo Perdomo left Sunday's game against the
Houston Astros with a head contusion after being struck in the helmet by a line
drive from Ketel Marte in the third inning.
Perdomo singled to start the third before Marte's 93 mph single hit him on the
side of the helmet as he ran to second. He immediately fell to the ground and
writhed in pain as players from both teams ran to check on him.
He remained on his back for a couple of minutes as trainers tended to him
before he sat up. Perdomo talked to trainers for a bit before being helped to
his feet and walking off the field on his own power.
Ildemaro Vargas moved from first base to shortstop in the bottom of the inning
to replace Perdomo and Tim Tawa entered the game to play first base.
