Brent Honeywell, the Dodgers' relief pitcher, said he walked into the dugout during the fifth inning and spotted the small serpent nearby. Advertisement "I was hoping it was a rally snake. We pushed some [runs] across after that," Honeywell told MLB.com. The Dodgers, who were down by six runs at the time of the snake discovery, ended up still losing to the New York Mets 7-3. The snake was wrapped in a towel and carried off by a member of the grounds crew. "We've had Snakes on a Plane, Snakes on a Train and the latest Hollywood hit: Snake in the Dugout," Fox Sports play-by-play commentator Joe Davis quipped. Honeywell said it was far from the most unusual thing he has encountered in a baseball -- in 2015, when he was a prospect in the Tampa Bay Rays' system, he and his teammates encountered a 10-foot alligator in the clubhouse ahead of an away game in Port Charlotte, Fla.
