Tejada hits inside-the-park homer for Mets vs Phillies
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}NEW YORK (AP) Ruben Tejada has hit an inside-the-park homer for the New York Mets against Philadelphia.
With a runner on second and two outs in the second inning Wednesday night, Tejada hit a shallow pop fly down the right-field line. Domonic Brown charged in and reached down but could not make the catch, and the ball bounced by him as he flipped head over heels over a low retaining wall.
Second baseman Cesar Hernandez finally chased down the ball in the right-field corner, and Tejada slid home safely without a relay throw to the plate.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It was difficult to tell what part of his body Brown landed on. But after the play, he climbed over the wall and back onto the field as a Phillies trainer hustled out to check on him.
Brown initially remained in the game, but was removed in the bottom of the fourth.
