The game started off good for the LA Angels as they scored two runs in the first inning on Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron back-to-back home runs that gave the Angels and Mat Shoemaker an early 2-0 lead. With one out in the bottom of the second Seager hit a line drive right back up the middle and Shoemaker had no time to react, he just turned to his side on his follow through and the ball hit him on the right side of his head with a velocity of 105 miles per hour.
When Seager reached first base he just stared at the fallen Shoemaker.
