The plate umpire had to leave the game after taking a foul ball off his mask.

A foul ball off the bat of Jake Burger hit Kupla square in the mask and dropped to the ground.

Trainers from both teams rushed out and the rest of the umpiring crew came to the plate.

After sitting for a while, Kupla stood up, chatted with Boston's trainer and walked off on his own. The game resumed with a three-man crew after he was replaced behind the plate by Marty Foster.
