Seattle Mariners' Thornton 'should be OK' after heat illness
Seattle Mariners reliever Trent Thornton got sick during Saturday’s game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field while playing in the extreme heat that covered much of the United States.

Thornton pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings for Seattle before departing in the eighth of a 10-7 loss. The 31-year-old right-hander had to be helped from the field.
Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Thornton had “a little bit of a heat-related illness.” The gametime temperature was 94 degrees at first pitch.
“It was a scary moment, for sure,” Wilson said. “He battled hard. But just really glad that he’s feeling a little bit better now and should be OK.”
The Mariners and Cubs finished their game with three umpires after Chad Whitson got sick. Dexter Kelley moved from second base to home plate. Whitson was treated in the Mariners’ dugout.
“He came in, same kind of thing. Just was not feeling well,” Wilson said. “Threw up a few times in the dugout and then they came and took care of him from there. The heat was a real thing today, for sure.”
Whitson was dealing with some dehydration, but a Major League Baseball spokesman said he was doing better Saturday night and had been cleared to work third base for the series finale.
A Wrigley Field staffer had a heat-related medical issue right after Saturday’s game, according to a spokesman for the Cubs. He was tended to by medical personnel and walked off the field on his own.
The Cubs set up cooling and misting stations throughout Wrigley to help fans with the heat on Saturday, along with additional emergency personnel. The team had similar plans in place for Sunday, along with bringing in a city bus to use as a cooling station on the street.
