The collision brought a hush to Dodger Stadium, a ballpark still reeling from a ninth-inning hiccup that spoiled Clayton Kershaw’s bid for his first shutout of 2017. An inning later, three innings before Logan Forsythe hit a walkoff RBI double to usher in a 2-1 victory over St. Louis, the left elbow of Yasiel Puig bashed into the head of fellow outfielder Joc Pederson and sent him sprawling across the warning track. Pederson pitched headlong into the base of the outfield wall.
In his glove, Puig held the baseball aloft.
