ATLANTA -- Taijuan Walker and Kevin Pillar joined a long list of injured New York Mets players as both were forced to leave Monday night's game against the Atlanta Braves.
Walker pitched only three innings, allowing one hit and no runs, before exiting with tightness in his left side.
With the bases loaded in the seventh, Pillar was hit square in the face by a pitch from Jacob Webb. The veteran outfielder was knocked to the ground with blood pouring from his nose.
Pillar was quickly helped to his feet with towels covering his face as he was escorted off the field.
