Rays' Kevin Kiermaier Has Eye Irritation from His Eyelash: 'Feels Like... Sand'

Tampa Bay Rays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier left Saturday's 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays after suffering a scratched left eye due to his eyelash.

Kiermaier told reporters it felt like he had sand in his eye:

"A couple minutes in, I was like, dang it, I got an eyelash in my eye. There was an eyelash in there and then we rinsed my eye, and then it disappeared or kind of went into one of these crevices or whatever. Once that happened, everything took a turn for the worse.
