Alex Sanchez was also presented at the situation, the incident took place in a supermarket when a man approached them and commanded to give them money and jewellery, while hitting Sanchez on the head. Sanchez did not face any major injuries to the head.

"Nobody was seriously hurt and we're all OK. Both of us are fine. That was the main thing.”
Yovani was drafted by the Brewers in 2007 and made it to the All-Star team this year. He is the starting pitcher for the Milwaukee Bucks and has a career record of 479 strikeouts. Gallardo recently signed a $30.1 million extension with the Brewers for over five-years.
