Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Dustin May exits the game against the New York Mets after being struck by a line drive in the first inning. Multiple outlets report he leaves after throwing only one pitch, taking the impact off his back area and departing immediately.
The Brewers later provide an update on May after the early injury. In the game, Milwaukee continues without him and still takes control, ultimately defeating the Mets 8-1. The outlets describe how lefty Robert Gasser enters in May’s place, earns the win, and pitches for multiple innings as the Brewers’ offense rallies.
While reports agree on May being hit and leaving after one pitch, they differ slightly in emphasis—some focus on the timing of his departure and the initial impact, while others highlight Milwaukee’s overall comeback performance and Gasser’s relief outing. One outlet also notes May is the first major league starter to leave after one pitch since Pablo López in 2021.
