Dodgers Reliever Hits Red Sox's Willson Contreras in Head

During a game at Dodger Stadium on Friday night, Red Sox player Willson Contreras was struck in the head by a pitch thrown by Dodgers reliever Will Klein. The incident occurred in the third inning when Klein lost control of a 95 mph fastball, hitting Contreras in the back of the helmet.

Despite the impact, Contreras initially remained on his feet and walked to first base, where he was checked by coaches and trainers. However, he was later replaced at first base, suggesting he would undergo further evaluation in the clubhouse.

Klein, who has faced command issues recently, appeared remorseful as he left the mound. He had a challenging outing, allowing three runs in 1 ⅓ innings, and has struggled with his performance, raising his season ERA significantly.
