💨 Abstract

Seattle Mariners pitcher George Kirby was struck by a line drive during a game against the Baltimore Orioles, injuring his thumb and mouth. He remained positive post-game. Kirby ended his outing with 95 pitches in five innings, his best start of the season. The team awaits X-ray results, but manager Dan Wilson is confident in Kirby's resilience. Kirby's season has been delayed by shoulder inflammation, and this injury adds to his challenges.
