CHICAGO — Minnesota Twins catcher Gary Sánchez was feeling lucky Sunday after he practically walked into a significant harm.
The previous Yankees catcher was nearly struck within the head by a full swing by teammate Gilberto Celestino throughout Minnesota’s 5-1 victory towards the Chicago White Sox.
The incident occurred when Chicago introduced in Kendall Graveman to face Sánchez with two outs within the eighth inning. Sánchez was heading again to the dugout to study extra in regards to the reliever when he was nearly hit by Celestino within the on-deck circle.
Celestino missed Sánchez’s face by mere inches.
“I had a couple of minutes to go and ask a pair questions on that pitcher,” Sánchez mentioned by a translator. “I noticed his bat was on his shoulder simply standing there within the on-deck circle and so I went again to the dugout and I didn’t discover he was swinging.”
Sánchez lowered his head after the bat handed, and Celestino leaned again with an incredulous look on his face.
“He nearly hit me, however thank God, nothing occurred,” Sánchez mentioned. “It’s simply an accident. It’s wonderful.”
