The New York Yankees handled the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Monday night in a comprehensive win that only wavered for a moment when the Angels led off the bottom of the first with a home run.

Otherwise, it was all Yanks in a 5-0 victory. The Yankees even took it a step further in the eighth inning, when one of their actions left an Angels star injured and exiting the game.

The moment came with Jorbit Vivas batting in front of catcher Logan O'Hoppe behind the plate.

Vivas, a left-handed batter, made contact to pull the ball on an arcing, sweeping swing through the strike zone.

On the follow through, Vivas kept arcing the bat all the way back until it smacked O'Hoppe in the head.

The visual doesn't look like immense contact, but that's a heavy wooden bat moving at pretty high speed still that was more or less halted by O'Hoppe's head.

Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters that O'Hoppe says he's fine and wants to play Tuesday but that they'd wait for further evaluation.

Clearly, there was no intent to this from Vivas.

It's just an unfortunate case of things being aligned just off-kilter enough that something that normally happens no problem throughout a game resulted in this painful contact this time around.
