Mariners pitcher George Kirby takes 165km/h baseball to the face in scary scenes
Mariners pitcher George Kirby was left bloodied in a scary scene Tuesday night when he was hit in the face with a 165km/h line drive off the bat of Orioles infielder Ramon Urias. Luckily, Kirby used his catlike reflexes to get his hand and glove up right before the ball the ball struck him in the fifth inning of a 5-1 loss, the New York Post reports. Kirby had blood on his face after being hit, but avoided a broken jaw or any other serious injury in what proved to be his final pitch after the Mariners converted an out on the play. '(Feeling) pretty good,' Kirby said after the game, per the Seattle Times. 'Didn't even hurt, honestly. It got my hand — like 50/50 hand (and) mouth. But we're good.' While the Mariners suffered a loss Tuesday, they are certainly counting their blessings that Kirby got his hand up to brace some of the impact and avoid a potential devastating injury. Mariners manager Dan Wilson told reporters postgame that Kirby would get X-rays to be sure that he avoided the worst and even expressed optimism that Kirby could make his next start. 'I didn't even see it coming, just put my hand up,' Kirby said, per 'I'm just glad it kind of missed any of the bad spots on my face.' Kirby had struggled through three starts, but Tuesday marked one of his best showings this season. The righty allowed two runs over five innings while striking out three batters. His night ended on said play when the ball caromed off his face toward first baseman Rowdy Tellez to end the top of the inning with a 2-1 deficit. He currently lines up to face the Angels on Sunday, but Kirby could have that pushed back as he breathes a sigh of relief that this situation wasn't much worse. After Tuesday's loss, the Mariners are 32-27 and a half-game behind the division-leading Astros.

Orioles put 3B Ramón Urías on the IL, bring up top prospect Coby Mayo from the minors
Associated Press BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles put third baseman Ramon Urias on the injured list with a hamstring strain before Saturday night's game against Kansas City. The Orioles called up top prospect Coby Mayo from Triple-A Norfolk. Manager Brandon Hyde said he didn't think Urías, who went on the 10-day IL retroactive to Thursday, would be out too long. 'I think it's a minor hamstring strain,' Hyde said. 'He's going to have to have a few days off." Urías has been a bright spot for the Orioles during their slow start to the season, hitting .292 with two homers. Now he joins a lengthy list of Baltimore players on the IL, including outfielders Colton Cowser and Tyler O'Neill, infielder Jordan Westburg and several key pitchers. Mayo is baseball's No. 12 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, although he went 4 for 41 in his big league debut with Baltimore last year. He's hit .252 with six homers and 22 RBIs in 28 games for Norfolk this season. ___ AP MLB: recommended
