PHOENIX (AP) Plate umpire Dale Scott left the game between the Dodgers and Diamondbacks in the bottom of the first inning Saturday after taking a foul ball near his chin.

The count was 1-1 on Arizona leadoff man Jean Segura after he fouled off a pitch from Brandon McCarthy of the Dodgers. The ball struck Scott, who was attended to by a Diamondbacks trainer. Scott was able to remain standing while being checked and walked off the field.

Lance Barrett moved from first base to the plate and play resumed after about a 12-minute delay. A three-man crew worked the game.
