Washington Nationals third baseman Paul DeJong exited Tuesday night's game against the host Pittsburgh Pirates after being hit by a pitch in the face in the top of the sixth inning.

DeJong was hit by a 92.7 mph fastball from Pirates starter Mitch Keller.

DeJong immediately went down to the ground and was attended to by team trainers for a few moments. DeJong then walked off the field and into the dugout holding a towel to his face.

Amed Rosario replaced DeJong on the bases.
