Astros Pitcher Slams Death Threats Made Against Family Members

The Houston Astros dropped a game on Saturday, 12-9, to the Cincinnati Reds. It was a poor showing for starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. as he gave up seven runs in 0.1 innings of work.

McCullers Jr. revealed after the game that he and his family had received death threats. The Astros star called out those who made threats toward his family members.

“It’s been a tough evening,” McCullers said. “I understand people are very passionate and people love the Astros and love sports, but threatening to find my kids and murder them is a little bit tough to deal with.”
