‘Tis the season for weird baseball.
Miami Marlins batter Lewis Brinson, Chicago Cubs catcher Wilson Contreras and home plate umpire Brian O’Nora all felt the effects of a Yu Darvish 99 mph fastball on Monday night.
In the sixth inning, Darvish threw the ball a little inside toward Brinson. The ball appeared to hit Brinson and then bounced off him hitting both Contreras and O’Nora.
