Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodón seemingly popped a blister on his hand at the worst time during his World Series Game 2 start.

Rodón did not have a good night. In just over three innings, he gave up six hits and four runs, including three home runs. But there might be an, albeit very painful, explanation for the off night.

In the bottom of the third, cameras caught a glimpse of the New York pitcher seemingly gripping his finger between pitches. But it gets worse. Rodón might have popped a blister — OUCH — on his left hand. Cameras also caught some blood smeared on his gray pants. (See the six-second mark of the clip below.)

Of course, fans had a field day with this discovery. Here's how people reacted to Rodón's night:
