San Diego Padres right fielder Chris Denorfia was barely settled into his seat after the top half of the first inning when he had to bail out of the way of an incoming object.

The object: The bat of teammate Everth Cabrera's after the lead-off hitter had just wildly and authoritatively swung and missed a Tim Lincecum 1-0 fastball, losing his grip in the process.

The projectile traveled a pretty good distance and didn't lose a lot of steam as it neared San Diego's first base dugout. Thankfully, Denorfia, who found himself directly in its path, got his head tucked in safely, but he still took a pretty solid shot on the back.

Needless to say, he was not happy. In fact, his reaction would indicate he was something quite the opposite of happy, and it appears he's referencing a previous occurrence in which Cabrera lost the bat and nearly took his head off. The Padres broadcast looked into the matter briefly and never followed up with a report, so we'll have to assume it happened in spring training or perhaps even batting practice.

Following the home team's 8-1 win over the Reds, Alexandria attempted to conduct her first postgame interview with winning pitcher Gio Gonzalez after he'd just tossed a masterful one-hitter.

Obviously, a one-hitter is a significant accomplishment for a pitcher, so Gonzalez's teammates decided to give him the Gatorade shower usually reserved for actual no-hitters or walk-off wins. Unfortunately for Alexandria, she found herself right in the line of fire and ended up taking just as much of the shower as the intended target.

Probably not the debut she envisioned, but she took it like a pro and continued about her business. No problem. Besides, she knew she was coming back to the park again on Friday. She knew she'd have another chance to conduct a postgame interview. And honestly, what are the odds this could happen two nights in a row?

Oh, I'd say about the same as teammates throwing back-to-back one-hitters.

Brian O'Nora in a much happier moment. (AP)The Phillies-Mets game was delayed nine minutes for a very strange reason on Friday night.

Obviously strange would eliminate occurrences related to weather, so this wasn’t a rain or lightning delay. The Mets remembered to pay the electricity bill so power wasn’t an issue. The umpires even managed to beat traffic, which wasn‘t the case earlier this season in Washington.

Unfortunately for home plate umpire Brian O’Nora though, he wouldn’t be around long as he suddenly became very ill during the bottom half of the first inning and had to leave the game.

O’Nora left immediately after Daniel Murphy grounded out for the second out of the bottom half. He exited through the Mets dugout and apparently had an issue in their tunnel that manager Terry Collins had a good view of.

''Brian O'Nora got very ill. Just came on really, really fast and came into the dugout because he was going to be sick to his stomach,'' Collins was quoted as saying after the game. He could also be seen shaking his head and mouthing the words “that wasn’t good” when shown on TV right after O'Nora made it down the tunnel steps.

So what the heck hit O’Nora? The flu? Nerves? Lousy catering?

Aniballin': The general belief coming into the season was that the Atlanta Braves offense would be all or nothing. The early numbers bare that out, too, as Atlanta entered play on Friday leading MLB in home runs hit (35) with the fifth most strikeouts (185).

Basically, they're hoping for those two or three big swings every night and counting on their own staff to make it stand up. If they run into a pitcher that's locked in it's likely to be a long night at the office. Unfortunately for them, that's exactly what they encountered in Anibal Sanchez on Friday night, as the Tigers right-hander set a new franchise record for a nine-inning game with 17 strikeouts in Detroit's 10-0 victory.

Mickey Lolich previously held that mark for Detroit, striking out 16 batters on two different occasions in 1969. Sanchez managed to squeeze his into eight innings, so he actually left the game with a chance to tie the MLB record of 20 strikeouts set by Roger Clemens and equaled by Kerry Wood (Randy Johnson did it in extra innings). With the game well in hand his pitch count at 122, though, Jim Leyland's decision to pull him was a no-brainer. And Sanchez certainly didn't disagree.

''I don't think too much about strikeouts and records and things like that,'' Sanchez said. ''I prefer getting some zeros.''

As for the Braves, four of their seven losses have come via a shutout. They're also 15-0 when they homer and 0-7 when they don't, according to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

(AP)The New York Yankees disabled list is starting to resemble a New England Patriots injury report. If your name isn't listed on there somewhere, you might want to make sure you still have a job.

It's an expansive list to be sure, and unfortunately it's about to grow following their battle with the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night.

We'll start with catcher Francisco Cervelli, who was struck directly on his throwing hand by Rajai Davis foul tip in the first inning. It certainly didn't sound good initially and the visual replay confirmed he took the shot full force, but Cervelli somehow managed to stay in the game and finish the inning.

Before Yankees fans could finish breathing their sigh of relief though, he was out of the game, and reports started surfacing that catcher Austin Romine had been removed from Triple-A Scranton's lineup.

That was followed by...

Anthony Bosch (AP)Mike Fish and T.J. Quinn of ESPN’s Outside the Lines have released their latest report on the Biogenesis saga based on new documents they've obtained and it includes a few interesting pieces of new information.

Perhaps the most notable revelation, however, is included in this little excerpt on Anthony Bosch, the owner of the Biogenesis clinic:

Anthony Bosch, the self-described biochemist who operated a series of wellness clinics, used prescription forms that contained forged signatures, stamped with the names and license numbers of legitimate physicians who apparently were unaware of the scheme, sources and documents indicate. Those drugs were prescribed to Bosch's friends and associates and then delivered to professional athletes in order to avoid a paper trail, sources said.

Already the subject of a civil lawsuit filed by MLB and a Florida Department of Health investigation, Bosch could face possible felony criminal charges if tied to forged medical prescriptions, as well as fraud for acting as a medical doctor.

The ESPN report has a lot more detail, including a step-by-step breakdown of the process Bosch and his associates used to obtain the PEDs to their clients.

Honestly, it's not the most shocking development given the nature of this story and the man involved, but it's very interesting and certainly worth talking about since we're now officially dealing with fraud. That could change many facets of the investigation, including how Bosch goes about defending himself now that he might have to get out from under a felony.

The movement to discourage or outright ban home-plate collisions has picked up some momentum over the past couple of seasons. Current St. Louis Cardinals manager and former big league catcher Mike Matheny most notably stepped forward with a new perspective during spring training. Always known as an "old school" player with a matching attitude, Matheny admitted he's seen enough high impact collisions resulting in injuries ranging from minor to season-ending over the past several seasons to realize the game doesn't need to continue on the same path.

Agree or not, Matheny did make a few good points, specifically about the physical and mental grind of 162 games being enough for players to handle. Add in the extra bumps and bruises that nag catchers all season due to repeated foul tips and the occasional wayward bat, the last thing they need is another human being with bad intentions charging at them.

With all of that said, that brings us to current Detroit Tigers designated hitter and former every day catcher Victor Martinez. As the years have gone by and the injuries have piled up, Martinez has slowly but surely lowered his games behind the plate from 142 in 2005 to 26 in his last full season (2011). And we may never see him back there again after an ACL injury cost him the entire 2012 season.

Now, with all of the above factors in mind (his own ACL injury included), it should come as no surprise that Martinez, like Matheny, would like to avoid any potential future collisions at any cost. During Detroit's 7-5 win on Wednesday night, he confirmed as much with his actions, and thanks to the incredible arm of Kansas City Royals right fielder Jeff Francoeur, we actually got a pretty comical piece of baserunning out of it.

Kimbrel Rocked: Considering the last time he allowed more than one earned run in an outing was Sept. 19, 2011, the Atlanta Braves probably felt very comfortable handing the ball to closer Craig Kimbrel with a 5-3 lead even at Coors Field. The comfort didn’t last long, however, as 5-foot-9 (generously listed) Jonathan Herrera laced a one-out double down the right field line and Troy Tulowitzki singled to put runners at the corners.

Kimbrel recovered and overmatched Eric Young Jr. for the second out, but the breakout season of Dexter Fowler continued as he connected and confused left fielder Justin Upton with a slicing liner that smacked off the wall, tying the score at five. Three hard fought innings later, an admittedly nervous Yorvit Torrealba — a catcher by trade, but a first baseman with Todd Helton ailing and Colorado out of players — ended it with a walkoff single scoring another catcher, Wilin Rosario.

''Usually in winter ball I just played first, but I also played once last year when I was with the Toronto Blue Jays,'' he said. ''Still, it's not my position so I was a little bit nervous.''

Helton hasn't played since Friday with a strained forearm and the Rockies may be forced to DL him if he's available again on Thursday. After a doubleheader Tuesday followed by 12 innings Wednesday, they could use a fresh arm in their bullpen. A little bench depth wouldn't hurt either to ensure Torrealba isn't need to dust off his first baseman's mit again.
