Mets' Wright hit by pitch, suffers concussion

In the bottom of the fourth inning of tonight’s extra-inning loss to the San Francisco Giants, Mets third baseman David Wright was hit by a pitch by Giants pitcher Matt Cain. Wright immediately hit the ground and stayed there for about two minutes before walking off the field with help. This is a serious damper in the Mets’ already very bleak hopes of making a miracle run to the postseason, and with as many injuries as the team has, it looks like they will be missing the postseason for the third consecutive season.
