Mariners star George Kirby<\/strong> was drilled in the face by a 102.7 MPH line drive on Tuesday night — but somehow, he was able to leave the game under his own power.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The scene unfolded in the fifth inning of Seattle’s tilt with the Orioles at T-Mobile Park … when Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas <\/strong>smacked a Kirby four-seamer right back at the All-Star pitcher.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Kirby wasn’t able to move out of the way quickly enough, and the ball hit him right in the jaw. It ended up caroming to first baseman Rowdy Tellez<\/strong>, who secured the inning-ending out — but all eyes then turned toward Kirby.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Miraculously, the 27-year-old didn’t seem too bothered by the play — although blood did immediately start pouring from his lip. He walked to his dugout and was tended to by trainers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

He ultimately did not return to the game — though with his pitch count already at 95, it was unlikely he’d take the mound for the sixth anyway. After the game, he insisted to reporters he was all good.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

“It didn’t even hurt, honestly,” Kirby said, according to MLB.com<\/strong><\/a>. “It got my hand — like 50\/50, hand\/mouth, but we’re good. There’s nothing wrong with it.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Still, Mariners manager Dan Wilson<\/strong> said Kirby would likely undergo further testing to make sure everything was OK.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Kirby’s, of course, no stranger to injuries — he sat out all of April and nearly the entire month of May dealing with a shoulder issue — but it seems he dodged a bullet here.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Breathe easy, Mariners fans!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
