KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -Plate umpire Brian O’Nora was hit in the head by a shattered piece of Miguel Olivo’s broken bat, forcing him out of Tuesday night’s game between the Colorado Rockies and Kansas City Royals.
O’Nora was injured in the bottom of the second inning when Olivo’s bat broke on a groundout to shortstop. The umpire walked over to the corner of Kansas City’s dugout, where he was treated by Royals trainers and led down the tunnel.
Both teams left the field and the game was delayed for 13 minutes before resuming with three umpires. Paul Nauert, who began the night as the first base umpire, moved behind the plate.
