David Ortiz Gets Drilled in Head While Breaking Up Double Play

David Ortiz took a throw off his dome in the bottom of the fifth inning as his Boston Red Sox tried to rally back against the Houston Astros on Friday.

With men on first and third with one out, Hanley Ramirez hit a grounder to the hot corner. An inning-ending double play appeared imminent.

But Big Papi came barreling into second base and got rocked in the head by a throw from Jose Altuve. The ball flew all the way into the stands, and Ramirez was credited with an RBI groundout to cut Houston's lead to 5-4.

It wasn't enough for Boston to win the game, as the Astros prevailed 12-8, but hey—way to use your head there, big fella.
