Pederson took the brunt of the collision, and subsequently left the game in obvious pain.

Ironically, Pederson collided with rookie outfielder Cody Bellinger just two innings prior.

Puig was able to remain in the game, and the Dodgers went on to win it in the 13th thanks to a walk-off double from Logan Forsythe.
