SEATTLE -- For a few minutes, Kyle Seager stopped caring about baseball and the Seattle Mariners slide that has them on the edge of falling out of playoff contention. His mind went elsewhere with Matt Shoemaker lying on the ground, being tended to by trainers after taking a line drive off his head.Its kind of like, `Screw baseball, who cares about the game? You are just worried about him, Seager said. You see him sitting there on the ground and all the trainers and doctors out there and you really dont care that much about a stupid game at that point.Shoemaker was hospitalized after taking a line drive to the head in the Los Angeles Angels 4-2 win over the Mariners on Sunday.Shoemaker was hit on the right side of his head with one out in the second inning on a line drive from Seager. The Seattle third baseman ended a lengthy at-bat by squaring up a fastball, striking it with an exit velocity of 105 mph, according to MLB Statcast. Shoemaker was able to turn his head slightly to avoid a direct blow to his face but was unable to get his mitt up in time.After the game, the Angels announced that a CT scan revealed Shoemaker suffered a small skull fracture and small hematoma. He was to be seen by a neurologist and remain in Seattle overnight for observation.It just gives you that feeling where you have a pit in your stomach, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.Shoemaker was down for several minutes and bleeding from the spot where he was hit. Teammates knelt around the mound and Seager anxiously watched while Shoemaker was tended to. Shoemaker never appeared to lose consciousness.You see guys get hit. It happens. We were talking about it on the field -- how many times you see balls go whizzing by guys heads and everything, Seager said. Its definitely scary. For it to hit him square, I didnt see where the ball landed, but I saw it bounce off really far. That was really bad.Far secondary to Shoemakers condition, the Angels took two of three in the series, providing another damaging blow to Seattles fleeting postseason hopes. The Mariners have dropped seven of eight with AL West-leading Texas coming in for a four-game series starting Monday, likely Seattles last opportunity to get back into the wild-card race.Albert Pujols and C.J. Cron hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning and six relievers combined to shut down Seattle after Shoemaker was struck.After Shoemaker walked off the field with trainers on both sides, the Angels leaned on their bullpen. Deolis Guerra (3-0) was the first of the relievers to enter, followed by Jose Alvarez, Mike Morin, Cody Ege and JC Ramirez. Robinson Cano hit his 31st homer off Ege in the sixth and Nelson Cruz hit his 35th in the eighth off Ramirez, both solo shots.But that was all the Angels allowed, and Andrew Bailey pitched the ninth for his first save.You would think that we would be able to put something together against them, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. We had guys on. We certainly had opportunities, just didnt get the big hit or the hit to fall in.FIRST INNING WOESThe Angels hit seven first-inning home runs in the three-game series. Pujols hit his 29th homer of the season off Seattle starter Hisashi Iwakuma (14-11) with two outs in the first and Cron followed with his 15th home run moments later.Both of those pitches were up in the zone, Iwakuma said through an interpreter.Pujols added an RBI single in the sixth inning off Iwakuma, and Andrelton Simmons had an RBI single in the eighth inning off reliever Dan Altavilla. Iwakuma went seven innings, giving up eight hits and the three runs.ROSTER SHUFFLESeattle added depth to its overused bullpen by activating RHP Drew Storen and recalling LHP David Rollins on Sunday. Storen had been sidelined by shoulder inflammation and the pair gives Servais a few more options for the later innings with Seattles starters struggling to get deep into games of late.UP NEXTAngels: Jered Weaver (10-11) makes his 27th start as the Angels open a series in Oakland. Weaver got the win in his last start against Cincinnati.Mariners: Felix Hernandez (9-5) looks to rebound from one of his worst outings of the season as Seattle opens a series against Texas. Hernandez allowed six earned runs in four innings in a loss to the Rangers last Wednesday.Kevin Faulk Womens Jersey . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday.

Kevin Faulk Jersey . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. Irving Fryar Jersey .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season.SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Tourist became a much-deserving Grade 1 winner for the first time when rallying from off a relatively slow pace to a 1-1/4-length victory over A Lot in Saturdays $500,000 Fourstardave at Saratoga.Tourist had to survive a brief bobble on the second turn and a claim of foul by Javier Castellano, the rider of A Lot, before his Grade 1 win was officially in the books.Tourist ducked in at the break before straightening away and taking up a striking position just off the early pace set by King Kreesa, who posted leisurely splits of 24.53 and 48.43 over the firm course. Tourist was sent up to challenge the leader by jockey Joel Rosario on the far turn, stumbled briefly nearing the quarter pole, quickly recovered to edge clear near the furlong grounds then had plenty left to withstand a final surge from the runner-up.A Lot, bumped by Tourist almost immediately after the break, was reserved at the rear of the scratch-reduced field for six furlongs, commenced his bid midway on the second bend, finished willingly down the center of the course, but could not reach the winner. Grand Arch, winner of the 2015 Fourstardave, raced within striking distance from the outset but lacked the sufficient rally at the end.Ring Weekend, the tepid 5-2 favorite, steadied after getting pinched following the incident at the break, saved ground thereafter and could never seriously menace.ddddddddddddTourist, a 5-year-old son of Tiznow, had been Grade 1-placed on four previous occasions, including in his previous start when second, beaten less than a length, in the Shoemaker Mile at Santa Anita 11 weeks earlier. Trained by Bill Mott for the partnership of WinStar Farm, Gary Barber and Wachtel Stable, Tourist returned $7.40 after completing a mile in 1:34.29.Very important for a horse like him to get a Grade 1 win, Mott said. Hes been a good horse, multiple Grade 1-placed, and to win the Fourstardave at Saratoga is an important race.Mott said he was happy with the way the trip worked out, but did admit to having some anxious moments when Tourist bobbled momentarily on the second turn.On paper, that looked like the type of trip hed probably get, Mott said. He was laying second, came on and drew away from the field. But it was a bit of an anxious moment on the middle of the turn when he took a bad step. I kind of swallowed for a second there, but he was able to pick himself back up and go on with it.Mott said the Breeders Cup Mile would be his ultimate goal for Tourist later this year. ' ' '
