Sunday's day of baseball in MLB started with an unexpected and unpleasant scene that caught the attention of all the spectators present at Nationals Park. In a meeting between the Washington Nationals and San Francisco Giants, the home third baseman had to leave the game early due to an upset stomach that forced him to vomit on the pitch when the duel had just started.
After only two releases in the game, Lucius Fox had to leave the game seconds after his mishap that left evidence next to the pitcher's mound. The official broadcast captured the exact moment when the player rests on his knees to end up vomiting.
Immediately, the manager of the Nats, Dave Martínez, made the decision to remove him from the game so that he could be treated by the team's medical staff that was present on the bench. In his place, Venezuelan Alcides Escobar entered to be able to resume actions after the sudden problem that his squad mate had.
“Apparently I had a little gastroenteritis,” Martinez explained. He added about the inconvenience: “I guess it's going around. They gave him fluids before the game. He said it was okay. He did everything. And then, as you could see, it wasn't right.” Two pitches after the change, with Fox's debris still visible near the mound and backup receiver Riley Adams playing first base for the first time in his career, Joan Adon hit an opening homerun to start by defeating the locals.
Coach Tim Bogar explained that right after the national anthem he learned that Lucius was not feeling very well. “He told me at the last second that there was a good chance that I would vomit there. And obviously it was one or two pitches and I had to go in,” Escobar revealed about his early appearance in the match.
Unfortunately the Nationals were unable to recover from that unfortunate opening sequence. The start of the season is really worrying for the Washington franchise that fell 12-3 to the Giants and worsened their record to six wins and 12 losses. For their part, those from San Francisco added one more celebration and adjusted their mark to 11-5.
