ARLINGTON, Texas -- Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien stayed in the game and scored on a go-ahead single after a 94.6 mph fastball hit the ear flap of his helmet while he was batting in the third inning Saturday night against the Atlanta Braves, then walked it off for Texas in the 10th.
Semien turned his head down and avoided a direct shot to the face when he didn't get out of the way of Grant Holmes' pitch. Semien then twisted his body while grabbing at the left side of his face as he stumbled back and then laid flat on his back.
