pitcher, Lindor wore a pitch to the face in the fifth inning, prompting a benches-clearing incident in the Mets' 7-3 victory at Nationals Park that pushed their record to 2-0 to start the season.
"When it hit him, it shocked me," Cishek said."I don't think I've ever hit a lefty in the face or in the head before. I kind of put my head down. My first intention was to go over there and see if he's OK. When I was doing that, I realized it was a bad idea because I just kind of fired up the bench a little bit on the other side."
