April 17 (UPI) -- Houston Astros pitcher Collin McHugh showed off his flexibility by avoiding a hit headed right at his face during a win against the Oakland Athletics.
McHugh managed to avoid the screamer in the second inning of the 9-1 victory Tuesday in Oakland, Calif. Houston held a 3-0 lead entering the bottom half of the frame when McHugh took the hill. He allowed a single to Khris Davis to start the inning, before Kendrys Morales stepped into the box.
