The Milwaukee Brewers dodged a potentially huge scare, as All-Star ace Yovani Gallardo was robbed early Friday morning just hours after he pitched against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
WTMJ-AM in Milwaukee reported that the incident happened in a supermarket parking lot, as the unnamed robbers demanded money & jewerly from Gallardo & Alex Sanchez, who works for the Brewers as a clubhouse attendant.
Gallardo issued a statement on Friday afternoon regarding the incident:
“It was a scary moment for me, obviously for me and Alex (Sanchez), and those are tough situations. Things like that happen in every city, anywhere you go and it’s just unfortunate that it happened to me and him. Just going out there, getting a bite to eat before heading home, trying to stay out of trouble, and unfortunately trouble finds us. Nobody was seriously hurt and we’re all OK. Both of us are fine. That was the main thing.”
Gallardo is currently in his 4th season with Milwaukee & needs two more wins to tie a career-high of 13 that was set in 2009.
