Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Jean Segura experienced an extreme tragedy late Friday night when he learned about the death of his 9-month-old son, Janniel, in the Dominican Republic.
The news came to light after the Brewers’ 7-6 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Miller Park, a game that was decided in the ninth inning when Matt Holliday hit a two-out home run off closer Francisco Rodriguez.
“Seggy’s mom (Maribel) and uncle are here,” manager Ron Roenicke said Saturday morning in addressing the situation for the first time with the media. He made only a brief statement following Friday’s game and closed the clubhouse to media.
