BOSTON -- Plate umpire John Tumpane left Monday night's game between the Baltimore Orioles and Red Sox in the seventh inning after getting hit in the mask by a foul ball.
Tumpane didn't have a chance to move when Ryan Mountcastle fouled off a 96 mph fastball by Ryan Brasier and the ball deflected slightly, hitting Tumpane square in the protective face mask and knocking it off.
Tumpane remained on his feet as a member of Boston's athletic training staff came out of the dugout and spoke with him behind home plate.
