The game was delayed briefly before the start of the third inning while emergency medical personnel attended to the man in a section of field-level seats. It wasn't clear how the man ended up on the concrete beneath his seat, but the section was cleared quickly while security workers and EMTs rushed to the man's side.
The medical workers gave CPR to the man before strapping him to a stretcher and taking him out of the seating area. Fans applauded as the man was rushed up the steps to the concourse.
Stadium staff said the man was a Giants scout and said he was taken to a hospital and was breathing on his own.
Diamondbacks players stopped their warmups on the field and looked into the stands to see what happened. Russ Amaral, Arizona's vice president of ballpark operations, was also on the scene.

We were working a Mexican concert in Chicago. Some guy jumped the barricade down front. The guys grabbed him and handed him to me on stage left in front of the speaker stack.
I grab him by the hair on back of his head and pull him thru. I put him in head lock and start to walk him down the ramp behind the stage to throw him out.
He made a move to try and get out of the head lock. All he did was take my legs out from under me. He went down face first on the concrete. Then my shoulder hit him in the back of his head. He got the double thump.
The crowd started throwing trash at us and we are hollering for the guy by the dressing room entrance, "Get up here."
We pick him up and take him up to the Medics and tell them, "When you are done patching him up, make sure he is ejected."
