GOING TO THE SHOW — Every minor leaguer dreams of making it to The Show.

What happens when they get there sometimes doesn't work out, though.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Adrian Houser had a moment to forget during his fifth call-up to The Show in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Phillies.

Meanwhile, Mexico fans likely caused an earthquake celebrating after a 1-0 win over defending champ Germany, and Amy Rodriguez had the best reaction to the Utah Royals FC's 1-0 win over North Carolina.

Wanna get away?

Houser was called to pitch for Milwaukee while trailing Philadelphia 8-5 Sunday.

Houser vomited twice during his stint in the 10-9 loss to the Phillies, including once before he finished his warm-up tosses in the top of the eighth inning. In his fifth-ever Major League appearance, the 25-year-old right-hander was one earned run in the loss after getting called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs earlier Sunday.

Fair or not, though, he’ll most likely be remembered as “the pitcher who barfed on the mound,” at least as long as his Google history allows it.

For the record, Brewers manager Craig Counsell told the media after the game that Houser was "completely fine," and blamed a combination of heat, lack of sleep and hydration for the moment.

But he never left the game.

"There was no panic in his eyes, not in any way," Counsell said. "Like I said, it was just a kind of combination of all those factors. He was fine, kind of, after he sat down and everything was good."

It's an earthquake, Mexico fans

If you haven’t heard, Mexico pulled off one of the bigger upsets of the World Cup’s early group-stage matches Sunday, defeating reigning world champion Germany 1-0 on a goal by Herving Lozano.

And here’s how fans halfway around the world in Mexico City reacted.

Pretty great, right?

It turns out, that reaction may have caused an earthquake, according to Mexican seismologists. An earthquake was detected in Mexico City at the exact moment of Lozano’s goal, with two sensors detected inside of the city.

Powerful fans.

That winning feeling

You’ve probably seen the Utah Royals’ latest win, but did you see what happened after?

Utah’s newest professional women’s soccer team stunned the National Women’s Soccer League, handing league-best North Carolina its first loss of the season, 1-0 on Brittany Ratcliffe’s stoppage-time winner.

But though the reserve striker got the goal, starting forward (and recent U.S. national team returnee) Amy Rodriguez had the best reaction.
