LOS ANGELES -- Boston Red Sox All-Star Willson Contreras left Friday night's 9-4 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers after being hit on the side of his helmet by a pitch in the third inning.
Contreras was struck by a 95 mph fastball from reliever Will Klein. The first baseman was checked by the medical staff before taking first base. He had already hit the dirt after Klein's first pitch of the at-bat.
Contreras left the game for precautionary reasons after the Red Sox finished batting.
