Perdomo singled to start the third before Marte’s 93 mph single hit him on the side of the helmet as he ran to second. He immediately fell to the ground and writhed in pain as players from both teams ran to check on him.
He remained on his back for a couple of minutes as trainers tended to him before he sat up. Perdomo talked to trainers for a bit before being helped to his feet and walking off the field on his own power.
