The Mets snapped a three-game losing streak Monday night with a 3-1 road win over the division-rival Braves.
However, it came at an extremely frightening cost.
In the top of the seventh inning, with the bases loaded, Kevin Pillar came to bat in an attempt to extend his team’s lead (1-0 at the time).
Pillar then recorded an RBI, but in the scariest way possible. A 95 mile-per-hour fastball from Atlanta reliever Jacob Webb hit Pillar in the face, causing the Met outfielder to exit the game immediately.
Despite the outcome of the matchup, it’s clear Pillar and his health-related status are filling the minds of many.
