Kyle Farmer was hit in the face by a fastball on Wednesday, a frightening mistake by Lucas Giolito that sent the Twins shortstop for oral surgery.
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota’s Kyle Farmer was hit in the face by a 92 mph fastball on Wednesday, a frightening mistake by Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito that sent the Twins shortstop for oral surgery to realign his four bottom teeth and suture together lacerations on his lower lip.
Manager Rocco Baldelli said the initial diagnosis revealed no fracture after the pitch from Giolito ran inside and knocked Farmer to the dirt in the fourth inning. Giolito immediately raised his arms toward his head and walked forward from the mound out of concern for Farmer, who laid face down for a few minutes as the Twins tended to him.
Farmer eventually climbed to his feet with assistance and walked slowly to the dugout with a towel pressed against his face, his head hunched down. “You kind of didn’t hear a pin drop for three innings. It was kind of weird in the dugout,” Twins designated hitter Byron Buxton said, adding: “Everybody was thinking more about him than the game, especially when something horrific happens like that. If you’ve got any type of heart, you care about that person before you do this game. It was tough to finish.
