PHOENIX (AP) -- Home plate umpire Kerwin Danley has left the game between the Washington Nationals and Arizona Diamondbacks after taking a sharp foul ball off his facemask.
Danley was able to leave the field Tuesday night after bending over for some time near the foul screen behind home plate.
The foul ball off the bat of Arizona's Nick Ahmed in the second inning hit Danley squarely in his facemask. The Nationals left the field while the umpire crew went inside.
The game resumed with three umpires. Gabe Morales moved from second base behind the plate.
