Friday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and Milwaukee Brewers was briefly stopped in the bottom of the second inning after a scary moment with Milwpassedaukee shortstop, Willy Adames.
Brian Anderson led off the second inning for the Brewers and lined an 0-1 pitch from San Francisco’s Alex Wood foul, into Milwaukee’s dugout on the first base side.
Unfortunately, the ball struck Willy Adames, the Brewers shortstop who was sitting on the Milwaukee bench.

The delay lasted a long time while Adames was attended to in the dugout. More than three minutes past between pitches. Anderson, who was clearly shaken by the whole ordeal, eventually grounded out to shortstop upon resumption of the game.
Adames was replaced by Brice Turang. Milwaukee understandably seemed out of sorts in the top of the third inning. The Brewers committed two errors and allowed eight runs.
Later updates were positive. The Brewers later announced that Adames walked off out of the dugout and into the clubhouse and was later taken to the hospital.
Early updates are trending in the right direction. Adames walked to the clubhouse and is was taken to a hospital for “tests and scans.” pic.twitter.com/MCLS1i1N2K

Baseball fans sent their best wishes Adames’ way upon finding out about the scary injury.
This is terrible. Willy Adames is one of the great people in this game. Prayers up. https://t.co/N1p14dbbqV

Brewers could lose this game 50-1 and I wouldn’t care as long as Adames is okay.
