Brewers' Houser vomits behind mound ... again
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser seems to have a weak stomach.
On Saturday, the pitcher squatted behind the mound at Miller Park and lost his lunch after committing an error on a comebacker.

Following a visit from the Brewers' medical staff, the 26-year-old recovered to pitch a scoreless first inning, and he wound up striking out 10 across six frames for his fifth win of the year.
"I don't know how to explain it. Probably just sick with myself not making that play," Houser said postgame, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. "If I keep pitching like that, I’ll take it every time."
The incident was similar to June 2018 when Houser, pitching in front of 40,000-plus fans at Miller Park, became ill behind the mound on two occasions during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Houser said last season that a combination of long travel and eating too little led to his vomiting.
