San Francisco Giants star Blake Snell exited Sunday’s outing against the New York Yankees during the fifth inning with an injury, another wrinkle in what has been an injury-plagued first couple of months of the season for the left-hander.
The Giants announced postgame that Snell was removed from the game after dealing with a tight left groin. He landed on the 15-day IL with a similar injury, a left adductor strain, earlier this season and ended up missing more than a month of action.
Snell threw 99 pitches in the game but couldn’t escape the fifth inning before making his leave.
The bad blood lives on between Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Paul Sewald and his former team, the New York Mets. More specifically, the New York Mets fans.
Sewald made headlines late Saturday after getting involved in an altercation with a Mets fan after a win at Citi Field. In his account of the verbal spat, Sewald noted that the Mets fan had been vulgar in front of his kids, prompting him to jump in. He spoke with the New York Post, reacting to the dispute.
“I thought I had gotten over that. I didn’t come here motivated to pitch against these guys,” Sewald told The Post.
