After Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr.'s struggles in Saturday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds, he and his family were put through a harrowing experience.

Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. is speaking out after disgruntled fans on social media allegedly sent death threats to him and his family in response to a poor pitching performance on Saturday, May 10.

He’d record just one out before getting pulled for allowing seven runs after walking three batters and letting up three hits (including a home run). After the game, McCullers reportedly had to deal with death threats to him and his children from critics all over the world.
