Nearly seven months ago, Miller Park in Milwaukee was the scene of perhaps baseball’s scariest moment in 2014, when Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton was hit in the face by a Mike Fiers fastball.

On Tuesday night, the scene nearly repeated itself, only this time with a Brewer the one face-down in the batter’s box as Milwaukee All-Star shortstop Jean Segura took a pitch from Colorado’s Jordan Lyles off the face in the fifth inning.

As you can see in the video above, Segura was down for some time, but rose to his feet, took his base and remained in the game, even scoring one of the Brewers’ two runs in the inning on a Carlos Gomez double.

Segura would go 1-for-2 in the game, a 5-2 Rockies win.

After the game, Segura would tell the media, "I thought my nose was broken."
