Overview
- In the fifth inning at T-Mobile Park, Orioles third baseman Ramón Urías drilled Kirby’s jaw with a 102.7 mph comebacker.
- Kirby instinctively raised his throwing hand to deflect the ball, sending it to first base for the inning’s final out.
- Despite bleeding from the injury, he walked off the mound under his own power and was led for treatment.
- Manager Dan Wilson said Kirby will undergo further tests to ensure there are no serious injuries.
- The outing was his third start since returning from a shoulder injury, and he is tentatively set to pitch again on June 8 pending test results.
