ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)—Kendry Morales(notes) took a leap toward home plate and all of a sudden, a jubilant trip around the bases turned into a deflating trip to the disabled list.

 

Morales broke his left leg after hitting a game-ending grand slam in the 10th inning of the Los Angeles Angels’ 5-1 victory against Seattle on Saturday.

 

Morales landed awkwardly when he jumped on home plate and twisted his left ankle. He had to be carted off the field and taken to the hospital. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

 

“It’ll change the way we celebrate,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said before the extent of Morales’ injury was known. “It sure was exciting, but you always wonder if it’s an accident waiting to happen. This is definitely unfortunate. We’ve just got to wait and see what we’re dealing with. We’ll know more information as the night moves on.”

 

“It’s definitely not the mood we would expect in the clubhouse after a win, but when something like that happens, it’s definitely disturbing,” he said. “These guys all feel bad about what happened, but you’ve got to pick up the pieces and get ready to play tomorrow. It’s a lesson for all of us.”

Bet he wishes that he'd just struck out.
