Rangers' Patrick Corbin got win while dealing with bizarre 'venom' from foot bite
Briefly

Patrick Corbin achieved his first victory of the season in a game against the Angels, battling through a suspected venomous bite on his foot endured two days prior. Despite experiencing significant swelling and pain, he managed to deliver a strong performance, allowing only one run over 5 1/3 innings. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy expressed uncertainty about Corbin's ability to pitch before the game, but Corbin displayed resilience, receiving treatment and ultimately feeling confident about his recovery and future starts.
They said something bit me, but I still don't know what it was. I've never had anything like that. It was super weird.
We weren't even sure if he was going to pitch. He had a bite. He could hardly walk when he came into the clubhouse.
It was really bad in the morning. Just a really swollen foot. ... I wasn't sure if I was going to throw that morning.
I was fortunate to get through yesterday. I have some time to recover and be good to go.
