The Los Angeles Angels' ugly week continued with a scary scene on Saturday against the New York Mets.

Angels rookie pitcher Chase Silseth exited the game in the fourth inning with an apparent head injury after a throw from first baseman Trey Cabbage to third base hit him directly in the back of the head. The ball ricocheted toward the third base dugout and allowed Francisco Lindor to score after a Mets baserunning error forced him to break for third.

Silseth took several steps after the impact before falling forward to the ground. He didn't appear to lose consciousness, but was in clear pain as his teammates and Angels trainers checked on him.
