Jays’ George Springer leaves game after crashing into wall

Toronto Blue Jays right fielder George Springer exited Saturday’s game against the host New York Mets in the eighth inning after crashing face-first into the fence.

With runners on first and second, Springer raced back to the warning track in an attempt to field a triple on Jesse Winker and hit the fence as the Mets forged a 2-2 tie.

Springer was making his second start in right field and was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before getting replaced by Nathan Lukes.

After hitting .220 in 145 games last season, Springer, a four-time All-Star, is batting .379 with one homer and five RBIs in nine games.

The Mets won the game 3-2.
