Adolis García got hit by a pitch on the hand, and things got tense for a moment. He was clapping before the incident, possibly celebrating, when the pitch nailed him near the pinky. He reacted fast, putting his hand in an oven mitt to protect it and made it clear he was stealing second. Despite some concern from fans and teammates, García stayed in the game.
Later, he proved the hand was fine by blasting a walk-off home run. The early hit-by-pitch had everyone anxious, but García didn’t let it slow him down. He waved off the pain, stole the base, and then ended the game in dramatic fashion. His teammates gave him high fives all around after the win.
