Angels' Shoemaker takes liner to head

Matt Shoemaker turned his head just enough to avoid taking Kyle Seager's 105-mile-per-hour line drive square in the face, then stumbled before falling to the grass.

"That was probably the scariest thing I've ever seen on a baseball field," Seager said.

Shoemaker was hospitalized because of a small skull fracture and small hematoma during the Los Angeles Angels' 4-2 victory over the host Seattle Mariners on Sunday.

Shoemaker was struck on the right side of his head with one out in the second inning, getting his face out of the way but failing to get his mitt up in time to stop the hard-hit ball.

After the game, the Angels announced a CT scan revealed the small fracture and hematoma. He was to be seen by a neurologist and remain in Seattle overnight.

"You see him sitting there on the ground and all the trainers and doctors out there and you really don't care that much about a stupid game at that point," Seager said.

Shoemaker was down for several minutes and bleeding from the spot where he was hit.

Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning and six relievers combined to shut down Seattle after Shoemaker was struck.

Oakland 1, Boston 0: Eduardo Rodriguez's no-hit bid was broken up after a replay reversal with two outs in the eighth inning, and Khris Davis hit a walk-off double in the ninth that sent the host Athletics past the Red Sox.

Rodriguez stuck out his right leg to knock down Marcus Semien's eighth-inning grounder. The lefthander had to search for the ball in the dirt on the mound before scooping it up and making a quick throw.

Semien initially was ruled out by umpire Laz Diaz. The A's challenged the call, which was overturned after a review that lasted about 19 seconds.

In the ninth, Brock Holt misplayed Davis' double in deep left field for an error that enabled Danny Valencia to score from first after he walked against Craig Kimbrel. The A's ended a five-game losing streak.

Houston 7, Texas 6: George Springer and Evan Gattis homered as the Astros ended the seven-game winning streak of the host Rangers. Houston improved to 3-13 vs. the AL West leaders this season and is 9½ games behind in the division.

Toronto 5, Tampa Bay 3: Russell Martin hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer off Kevin Jepsen the eighth inning to help the Blue Jays avoid a three-game sweep by the host Rays and move a game ahead of Boston in the AL East.

New York 5, Baltimore 2: Chase Headley and Austin Romine had two RBI apiece, and the visiting Yankees avoided a sweep.

Milwaukee 10, Pittsburgh 0: Domingo Santana had two home runs, pinch hitter Jonathan Villar delivered a grand slam and Chris Carter connected for his 32nd home run as the Brewers handed the host Pirates their sixth loss in a row.

New York 5, Washington 1: Curtis Granderson homered and drove in three runs, Seth Lugo pitched seven strong innings and the host Mets beat the Nationals to take two of three from the NL East leaders.

St. Louis 5, Cincinnati 2: Randal Grichuk and Kolten Wong homered and visiting Cardinals ended a three-game slide.

Atlanta 2, Philadelphia 0: Julio Teheran pitched six innings, Matt Kemp homered and the Braves beat the host Phillies.

Arizona 8, Colorado 5: Socrates Brito hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the seventh inning for the visiting Diamondbacks.

Cleveland 6, Miami 5: Lonnie Chisenhall capped a three-run rally with a two-out RBI single in the ninth inning off Fernando Rodney, leading the host Indians to their sixth victory in a row. Jose Ramirez's two-run single tied it, also with two outs.
