Amir Garrett
MLBBy Stacey Mickles on

Kansas City Royals pitcher Amir Garrett went viral Monday night, but it’s not what you think. Garrett was seen on the mound Monday night, losing his lunch as he was seen vomiting on the rise.

The 31-year-old pitcher was then escorted off the field by trainers.

Garrett was pitching in the seventh inning of Kansas City’s blowout win over the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium when he suddenly fell ill.

Video captured from the game’s broadcast shows KC trainers raced out to check on the left-hander before he threw up the contents of his stomach all over the field. Witnessing on live TV was not the most pleasant moment, but it couldn’t be helped. Garrett would later say on his social media account that he was” all good” and that it was nothing serious. That’s good news to hear from the Royals, but you hope Garrett is the only one to be sick and that whatever he has won’t be spread to his teammates.

This is the second time in almost a year that Garrett has had some weird moment at the ballpark. Last year he threw a drink at a fan who was heckling him, for which he later apologized and sent the fan an autograph jersey.https://twitter.com/awfulannouncing/status/1655967380143583232

Let’s hope this is not serious, as Garrett says. Naturally, fans reacted to the incident. Some fans offered sympathy; others offered jokes.

Let’s hope Amir Garrett gets well soon.
