Diamondbacks reliever seals victory over Rockies after swallowing fly mid pitch: 'I gagged a little'
Playing baseball is hard enough to begin with. Yet, Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Jalen Beeks encountered another degree of difficulty in the team's 8-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Beeks, 32, swallowed a fly while he was in the middle of his delivery towards home plate. "Yeah, l swallowed a fly when I lifted my leg," Beeks said via "Never had that happen, but, you know, we got through it. We got the win. That's the important thing." Beeks was unbothered by his encounter with the fly. "I gagged a little bit. It just took me a second, but I was fine. No big deal. Good story for later, though." Diamondbacks' manager Torey Lovullo was initially concerned that Beeks was hurt after watching his reaction on the mound following the pitch. "You just hold your breath," Lovullo said via "You're wondering, like, 'Is it an oblique? Is it the back?'" "By the time I got out there, he said that on his turn, he was going, and the fly was present." Unfortunately for Beeks, Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle hit a solo home run in the same at-bat as the fly incident. Doyle's home run cut the lead to 8-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning, and Beeks remained in the game to get the final three outs and close out the win. The Diamondbacks (60-62) play the Rockies (32-89) in the second game of their four-game series on Friday at 8:40 p.m. ET, and Beeks can only hope that if he pitches again, he won't have unexpected encounters with bugs.

Watch: D-backs pitcher Jalen Beeks swallows fly before allowing Rockies homer
Aug. 15 (UPI) -- Pitcher Jalen Beeks had an accidental snack during an Arizona Diamondbacks win over the Colorado Rockies, when he swallowed a fly while throwing a fastball. The sequence occurred in the bottom of the ninth inning of the 8-2 triumph Thursday in Denver. Beeks went on to allow a home run during the same at-bat. "Yeah, l swallowed a fly when I lifted my leg," Beeks told "Never had that happen, but, you know, we got through it. "We got the win. That's the important thing." Beeks replaced fellow relief pitcher Juan Morillo to start the half inning. Rockies center fielder Brenton Doyle stepped to the plate for his first exchange. Beeks missed the strike zone with an inside fastball on his first offering. He then toed the rubber and lifted his right leg. He then put down the leg and used his left arm to unleash another fastball. Beeks immediately gulped and started coughing. He then stepped off the mound to regain his composure as catcher Jose Herrera ran in to check on him. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo also emerged from the dugout to check in on the left-handed pitcher, who appeared like he was gagging. Beeks was given a bottle of water to wash down the insect before play resumed. Doyle fouled off the next two pitches to even the count. Beeks then missed the zone for a third time. Doyle fouled off his sixth offering before smacking his seventh -- a 94.3-mph fastball -- to left center field for a 419-foot home run. Doyle eventually escaped the inning and secured the final out of the night by striking out pinch hitter Warming Bernabel. Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez allowed six hits and one run over seven innings to improve to 5-7 on the season. Herrera hit a two-run homer, while left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. smacked a three-run shot in the victory. Shortstop Geraldo Perdomo and center fielder Alek Thomas recorded two hits apiece for the Diamondbacks. Rockies starter Bradley Blalock allowed six hits and seven runs over 3 2/3 innings to drop to 1-4 this season. First baseman Kyle Farmer went 3 for 4 with a solo homer in the loss. Doyle went 2 for 4, including his solo shot off Beeks. The Diamondbacks' (60-62) win was their sixth in seven games and extended a three-game winning streak. They sit in third place in the National League West, 9.5 games behind the division-leading San Diego Padres (69-52). The Rockies, who are 2-8 over their last 10 games and own the worst record (32-89) in baseball, sit in last place in the division, 37 games behind the Padres. They will host the Diamondbacks in the second game of the series at 8:40 p.m. EDT Friday in Denver.

(AP Photo/Rick Scuteri) Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Corbin Burnes throws against the Washington Nationals in the first inning during a baseball game, Sunday, June 1, 2025, in Phoenix. (AP Photo/Rick Scuteri) PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes was lifted after just 70 pitches Sunday against Washington with an apparent injury. Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth when Burnes allowed a single by C.J. Abrams with two outs. The right-hander then gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration. Advertisement Jalen Beeks replaced Burnes and gave up an RBI single before getting the third out. Burnes allowed a run and four hits in 4 2/3 innings, with a walk and six strikeouts. He's 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts on the season. Arizona signed Burnes to a $210 million, six-year contract before the season. He's been effective, but the Diamondbacks have dealt with a slew of pitching injuries. Jordan Montgomery (Tommy John surgery) is out for the season, Eduardo Rodríguez (shoulder) is on the injured list, and reliever A.J. Puk (elbow) is on the IL as well. Arizona allowed 10 runs in the first inning Saturday, its ninth loss in 10 games. ___ AP NHL:
