New York Mets quarterback Jeff McNeil was sent off Thursday afternoon after making a sensational catch in the first inning of a game against the Washington Nationals.
With the Nationals already 1-0 up and two runners at the base, Asdrubal Cabrera hit a flyball to left field, which went straight to the Citi Field gate. McNeil, however, advised to track it down and made the prisoners, crashing only into the walls, crawl to the ground.

The Mets’ training staff rushed to help him, but it was clear McNeil was injured.
New York placed Billy Hamilton in the game to cut for him in the bottom of the first inning. The extent of McNeil’s injuries was not immediately known.
