The St. Louis Cardinals said they're taking allegations that a gay minor-league pitcher abandoned baseball because of homophobia "very seriously."

Tyler Dunnington, whom the Cardinals selected in the 2014 draft, told Outsports.com in a report published Wednesday that he heard derogatory comments from college coaches and later unidentified teammates in the pros. He said that "each comment felt like a knife to my heart."...

Dunnington spent most of the summer after he was drafted with the Cardinals' rookie-level affiliate in the Gulf Coast League, a team based in Jupiter, Florida. He said he felt uncomfortable revealing his sexual orientation to the Cardinals and retired a year ago before spring training for "my own sanity."

Dunnington, who was 3-2 with a 3.41 ERA in 18 games as a reliever, told the website that he should have worked to "help change the game" and that quitting "isn't the way to handle adversity." Dunnington didn't immediately respond to an email from the AP.
