Frightening scene at the Blue Jays vs. Orioles game on Monday ... when Toronto outfielder George Springer was forced to exit the contest after getting struck in the head by a 96 MPH fastball.
The moment happened in the top of the ninth inning ... when Baltimore right-hander Kade Strowd's 0-0 pitch found the left ear flap of 12-year MLB veteran's helmet ... sending him to the ground in a heap.
Springer remained in the dirt for some time as trainers checked in on him and teammates and fans watched on.
