San Diego Padres pitcher Blake Snell took the mound on Friday against the Washington Nationals. He apparently did so despite an interesting night before.
The former Cy Young winner's car was struck by a suspected drunk driver Thursday night during a stoppage by San Diego Police over an alleged traffic violation on Interstate 5, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The DUI suspect allegedly veered his Toyota sedan off the freeway and into the driver's side of Snell's car around 11 p.m., an hour after the Padres lost the series opener to the Nationals.
