KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar was helped off the field without putting weight on his left leg Friday night after Oakland’s Brett Lawrie slid into him in a play at second base.
Josh Reddick had lined a pitch off pitcher Kelvin Herrera with one out in the seventh inning, and it bounced toward third baseman Mike Moustakas. He shoveled the ball to Escobar at second, and Lawrie slid late, crossing over the bag and crunching into Escobar’s leg.
Moustakas immediately signaled for the Royals’ training staff, and angry Kansas City players flooded the field. Lawrie was escorted to the dugout by his teammates.
Escobar was replaced by Christian Colon with the game tied 4-all.
