Washington Nationals star left fielder Bryce Harper was chasing down a fly ball from Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis when he ignored the warning track and went face first in to the wall. It was a hard collision in an area with no padding and Harper stayed down on the ground for a number of minutes.

Harper eventually walked off of the field under his own power, but there was blood leaking from a cut on his chin or neck.
