Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen unintentionally hit and killed a bird with a baseball during warmups ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oakland Athletics at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
While warming up in the outfield ahead of Arizona's 5-3 win over Oakland, Gallen threw a curveball that hit and killed a bird in midflight.
"I don't really know what happened, honestly," Gallen said, per Josh Dubow of the Associated Press. "I just know that the ball changed directions really. I saw what happened. It's kind of a freak accident. It's unfortunate."
