About this episode

Home plate umpire Jordan Baker had to exit Tuesday’s Giants vs. Guardians game in the fifth inning after suffering a concussion from a foul ball hit off his mask in the second. Despite staying in for a few more innings and being checked by trainers, he couldn’t continue, forcing a 12-minute delay as Rob Drake moved to cover home plate. MLB is now evaluating Baker’s status and whether to bring in a replacement for the rest of the series, with games scheduled for Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon.
