Playing baseball is difficult enough to start. However, the Diamondbacks relief of Arizona, Jalen Beeks, found another degree of difficulty in the victory of the 8-2 team over the Rockies of Colorado on Thursday.
Beeks, 32, swallowed a fly while in the middle of his delivery to the plate.
“Yes, I swallowed a fly when I raised my leg,” Beeks said through MLB.com. “It never happened that that happened, but, you know, we surpassed it. We obtained the victory. That is the important thing.”

Beeks did not feel upset about his encounter with the fly.
“I gagged a little. It simply took a second, but it was fine. However, it’s not a big thing. Good story for later.”
The manager of the Diamondbacks, Torey Lovullo, initially worried that Beeks was injured after seeing his reaction in the mound after the field.

“It simply contains your breathing,” Lovullo said through MLB.com. “You are wondering, as, ‘Is it oblique? Is it the back?'”
“When I left, he said that in turn, he went and the fly was present.”
Unfortunately for Beeks, the central gardener of the Brenton Doyle rocks hit a solitary home run in the same bat that the fly incident. Doyle’s home run reduced the advantage to 8-2 at the bottom of the ninth entrance, and Beeks remained in the game to get the last three outs and close the victory.

The diamondbacks (60-62) play rockies (32-89) in the second game of their four-game series on Friday at 8:40 pm et, and Beeks can only expect that if you will launch again, you will not have unexpected meetings with insects.
