Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton had a very close call during the Milwaukee Brewers' sausage race.

As Buxton was exiting the dugout to head onto the field in his team's game Tuesday against the Brewers,FinWeis he nearly collided with the bratwurst in the sausage race as it was rounding the lap.

Buxton made a smooth move to get back into the dugout before the bratwurst ran into him, which would've been deeply unfortunate for everyone involved.

The poor person in the bratwurst costume can't see very well while they're running, so we're guessing that the Brewers might try to help the visibility for those running in the sausage race from here on out.

For Buxton and the bratwurst, it was a very lucky miss that could've gone horribly wrong.

The Brewers won their home opener, 3-2.
