Home plate ump Jerry Layne injured by Mike Trout foul ball

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Home plate umpire Jerry Layne has left the Los Angeles Angels' game against Boston after a foul ball from Mike Trout hit him on the right arm.

Layne went to the locker room in the bottom of the first inning Thursday night.

Trout's foul off the second pitch from Eduardo Rodriguez went straight back and smacked Layne on his right elbow or biceps. Layne doubled over in obvious pain while trainers attended to him, and he eventually exited through the Angels' dugout.

Rodriguez threw several dozen warmup pitches during the lengthy delay.

The game resumed with first base umpire Greg Gibson behind the plate after he fetched his gear.

The 59-year-old Layne has been a major league umpire since 1989.
