Texas Rangers left-hander Patrick Corbin earned his first win of the season Wednesday night, but it was a start he nearly wasn't able to make.
The culprit -- what Corbin and the Rangers believe was "venom" from an apparent bite on his foot two days before his start that made it difficult for him to walk.
"They said something bit me, but I still don't know what it was," Corbin told reporters Thursday. "I've never had anything like that. It was super weird."
Hours before Corbin allowed one run in 5u2153 innings in a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said it was "50/50" whether he would pitch because of the condition of his ankle.
