Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia leaves with apparent knee injury
Posted April 21, 2017 7:00 am
BALTIMORE (AP) - Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia hurt a knee and left in the ninth inning of a game against the Baltimore Orioles.
Manny Machado slid into second base on a force play Friday night and appeared to spike Pedroia in the back of the left leg.
Machado attempted to break Pedroia's fall, but the four-time AL All-Star crumbled to the ground. Pedroia gingerly got to his feet before being helped off the field.
It was unclear whether Pedroia twisted the knee.
