Jason Vargas hit in groin by line drive, still makes the out (GIF)

Kansas City Royals pitcher Jason Vargas took a line drive to the groin, but still made the out at first, during the fifth inning of Monday night's game in Minnesota.



Fortunately, Vargas was wearing his cup, so after being checked out by the medical staff, he was able to continue for another inning. Vargas earned the win in the Royals' 3-1 victory over the Twins.

Not that pitchers need to be reminded to wear their cup, but Twins batters in particular seem to have a knack for hitting opposing pitchers in the groin with line drives.
