MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers shortstop Willy Adames walked out of Friday night’s game against the San Francisco Giants after being hit by a foulball by teammate Brian Anderson while watching from the dugout.

Anderson batted at the end of the second inning when he hit a line drive that hit Adames.

The game was suspended for a few minutes to allow Milwaukee’s coaching staff to check on Adames, who was on the bench. Anderson looked worried as he waited near the batter’s box.

Adames eventually exited the dugout and headed to the clubhouse. The Brewers said he was taken for a scan and left the stadium for more tests and evaluations.

Brice Turang replaced Adames at the shortstop in the top third.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers shortstop Willy Adames has been hospitalized after he was hit in the dugout by a foul ball from teammate Brian Anderson during Milwaukee’s game against the San Francisco Giants Friday night.

Anderson batted at the end of the second inning when he hit a line drive that hit Adames. Video appeared to show Adames was hit in the head or face. Brewers manager Craig Counsell said after his team’s 15-1 defeat that the tests had revealed no breaks.

“He was alert and responsive when he left, and then we got some pretty good news at the hospital, too,” Counsell said. “Obviously he’s in pain. But I think overall it’s not bad news considering how scary it was.”

Counsell said Adames will remain in hospital overnight “for surveillance purposes only” and will be placed on the injured list.

“I expect he’ll be released tomorrow morning,” Counsell said. “It’s going to be a concussion. It will be an IL.”

The game was suspended for a few minutes to allow Milwaukee’s coaching staff to attend to Adames, who was on the bench. Anderson’s concern was evident on his face as he waited near the batter’s box.

“Initially I thought it hit the padded pad based on the sound,” said Brewers infielder Mike Brosseau, who was on deck at the time. “The way they reacted to that scares you and after they sat on the bench for a few seconds I realized it was a bit more serious. I heard it more than I saw it.

“The chance is one in a million,” Brosseau added. “It’s just scary. I don’t know how hard BA hit the ball, but I do know he came across as hot. To make such a direct contact, yeah, that’s really bad to watch.”

The situation seemed to affect the Brewers emotionally for the rest of the night.

After Brice Turang replaced Adames at shortstop, Milwaukee committed two errors and allowed seven runs early in the third inning as the Giants opened the game. Brewers pitcher Freddy Peralta, who is close friends with Adames, gave up ten runs, the best of his career.

“It’s hard to see someone you love enjoying the moment,” Peralta said.

Adames has been one of the Brewers’ emotional leaders and most popular players since they acquired him from the Tampa Bay Rays in May 2021. He was named the team’s Most Valuable Player by the Milwaukee Division of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America for the last two seasons.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mitch Haniger and the San Francisco Giants are beginning to recover from their slow starts.

Haniger hit a home run and had four runs to help the Giants win 15-1 over Milwaukee on Friday night after the Brewers lost Willy Adames when he was hit by a foulball in the dugout.

San Francisco (26-25) won for the ninth time in 11 games, climbing above .500 for the first time this season.

“We played great,” said Haniger, who went 3-5 to increase his batting average from .193 to .215. “Great pitch. good shot. good defence. I just have to keep going.”

Adames was taken to the hospital after being hit by a line drive by teammate Brian Anderson late in the second inning. Videos appeared to show Adames was hit in the head as he watched from the dugout.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell said the tests found no fractures, adding Adames will remain hospitalized overnight and will be placed on the injured list.

“He was alert and responsive when he left, and then we got some pretty good news at the hospital, too,” Counsell said. “Obviously he’s in pain. But I think overall it’s not bad news considering how scary it was.”

His injury seemed to shake the Brewers, who had two penalties early in the third inning and conceded seven runs while the Giants stretched their lead from 3-1 to 10-1.

“Willy is the catalyst for this team,” said Brewers infielder Mike Brosseau. “What he brings to this team, what he means to this team, to see him go down like that and no one knows how serious it is, that’s pretty scary, pretty scary.”

The Giants have outplayed the Brewers 20-1 in the first two games of this four-game series.

Haniger hit 3 of 5 with a two-run home run and a two-run double. Patrick Bailey had 4-of-5 with three RBIs. JD Davis had 3-of-6 with three runs and three RBIs, including a two-run home run. Brett Wisely hit a three-run homer for 2 for 5. Mike Yastrzemski was 3 of 5 and hit two runs. Michael Conforto scored three runs.

San Francisco’s Alex Wood (1-0) went 5 2/3 innings, giving up one run and three hits while notching five strikeouts and five walks. Tristan Beck threw a one-hit relief 3 1/3 innings, earning his first save of his career.

Wood and Beck were effective enough to allow the Giants to rest their bullpen one night after using six different pitchers in a 5-0 win over the Brewers.

“It’s huge, huge, just as important as anything else that happened tonight,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “It took a beating on our entire bullpen. You needed it. You worked really hard.”

Brewers starter Freddy Peralta (5-4) gave up eight hits and ten runs in just 2 1/3 innings, the best of his career. Only five of the runs he allowed were earned.

Peralta considers Adames a close friend and acknowledged the shortstop’s injury affected him.

“It was really hard for me because of some of the feelings inside me and all of that,” Peralta said. “I knew I had a game and had to get back to the mound. But I had it in mind.”

Brewers infielder Mike Brosseau earned ninth place and retired the team in turn. This was the second time he had a scoreless inning this weekend. Brosseau also scored the ninth goal in Monday’s 12-2 loss to the Houston Astros.

Brewers remember Small

The Brewers recalled LHP Ethan Small from Triple-A Nashville and traded RHP Tyson Miller to Nashville.

Small had a 2.33 ERA in 12 assists for Nashville, going 0-2. He allowed five runs and nine hits while throwing three innings in relief against the Giants on Friday.

TRAINING ROOM

Giants IF Thairo Estrada was out of the starting XI due to a left wrist injury.

NEXT

RHP Logan Webb (3-5, 2.91 ERA) will shoot for the Giants and RHP Corbin Burnes (4-4, 3.97) will start for the Brewers on Saturday.
