Mariners' Victor Robles lost his mind after getting hit by a pitch

Mariners' Victor Robles lost his mind after getting hit by a pitch originally appeared on The Sporting News Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles is with Triple-A Tacoma as he rehabs from injury. That journey back to the big leagues took a drastic, crazy turn on Sunday. Robles was hit by a pitch, except it was so far up and in, he took a swing to try and protect himself. So he wouldn't even get first base. And he was very much not happy. He headed toward the mound, throwing his bat that way in the process. And as people tried to hold Robles back, he kept trying to make it out to the pitcher.

The Mariners have loaded up their lineup since the time Robles went down, so it may not be crucial to have him back right away. But he's at the least a very good depth piece with speed who can play defense.

Whatever happens next, Robles will have a tough time escaping this moment. Throwing a bat toward a pitcher the way he did is incredibly rare and rather scary. Some kind of punishment must be coming down the pipe for Robles.

Dansby Swanson delivers as the Chicago Cubs edge the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3

CHICAGO — Dansby Swanson hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 on Sunday in the rubber game of the weekend series. Pete Crow-Armstrong and Ian Happ each had two hits for Chicago, which had dropped four of five before a 3-1 victory Saturday. Next up is a big five-game series against major league-leading Milwaukee, beginning with a split doubleheader Monday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are eight games back of the Brewers in the NL Central. Chicago had runners on second and third with one out in the eighth when Isaac Mattson (3-2) issued an intentional walk to Nico Hoerner. Swanson followed with a flyball to right, driving in Carson Kelly. Caleb Thielbar (3-3) got one out for the win, and Andrew Kittredge pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his first save. Pittsburgh trailed 2-1 before Joey Bart lined a two-run double into the corner in left in the sixth. Ronny Simon's two-out single put runners on the corners, but Ben Brown escaped the jam when Spencer Horwitz bounced to second. Chicago tied it at 3 on Carson Kelly's bloop single in the bottom half, driving in Seiya Suzuki. The Cubs had the bases loaded with two down, but Swanson flied to right for the final out of the inning. The Pirates wasted a prime scoring opportunity in the eighth. Batting with a runner on third and one out, Bart struck out swinging against Brown. Isiah Kiner-Falefa then walked before Thielbar fanned Ronny Simon for the final out of the inning. The Pirates went 3 for 13 with runners in scoring position and left 10 on base. Pirates: RHP Paul Skenes (7-9, 2.13 ERA) starts Monday night in the opener of a three-game series against Toronto. RHP Kevin Gausman (8-9, 3.79 ERA) goes for the AL East leaders. Cubs: RHP Cade Horton (7-3, 3.07 ERA) will start Game 1 on Monday. Manager Craig Counsell declined to announce his starter for the second game of the doubleheader. ___ AP MLB:
