On Friday night, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was hit in the face by a pitch from Nationals‘ Steve Cishek.
The incident resulted in both benches being cleared as a brawl unleashed on the field.
The two teams are set to play again on Saturday night, and Lindor somewhat surprisingly made the starting lineup despite his injury the previous day. Lindor missed the remainder of the game on Friday after being hit in the fifth inning.
