Video: White Sox Beat Tigers on Wild Pitch After Umpire Cory Blaser Gets Hit in Mask

Home plate umpire Cory Blaser didn't have an opportunity to call Yoán Moncada safe during the Chicago White Sox's 2-1 walk-off win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday afternoon.

Blaser, an umpire since 2010, was knocked to the ground by a wild pitch from Detroit's José Cisnero that hit him right in the face mask, allowing the game-winning run to score.

Blaser remains under evaluation following the incident, according to MLB.

It's one of the strangest finishes to a game in some time, especially considering that all three of the game's runs were scored on wild pitches.
