In the middle of what should be a nice easy Saturday win, the Yankees got quite a scare out of their catcher. Austin Romine was taken out after five innings behind the plate after he was nailed in the mask by a foul tip off the bat of Richard Urena:
Romine took a ball to the face and was out on his feet for a little bit. Stays in the game. Call me soft, but its 7-0. Take him out and let Higgy finish up. pic.twitter.com/cLa8lYtZKX

You can see how uneasy Romine was, needing the support of umpire David Rackley to stay even somewhat vertical.
