Cincinnati Reds pitcher Michael Lorenzen made his major league debut on Wednesday, and his mom and brother traveled all the way from California to watch him play. Unfortunately, mom had a microphone in her face when Lorenzen gave up his first ever big-league home run.
Jim Day of Fox Sports Ohio happened to be interviewing Cheryl Lorenzen in the bottom of the second when Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Adam Lind launched a ball into the bleachers in center field.
“Well, that’s welcome to the big leagues, mom,” Day said.
Cheryl let out a nervous giggle and continued to talk about how hard her 23-year-old son had worked for that moment.
