Padres right-hander Cease hit in back of head with 1-hopper, stays in game
The scary moment happened with one out in the third inning. As the ball caromed into foul territory for a double, Cease sat on the mound with his right hand on his head.
Cease was checked by trainers, manager Mike Shildt and pitching coach Ruben Niebla. After throwing some warmup pitches, he stayed in the game.
Cease struck out Juan Soto and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza was ejected for arguing. Cease then struck out Pete Alonso.
The Mets led 1-0 at the time.
