There was a scary moment in Rogers Centre as Toronto Blue Jays’ George Springer was carted off the field after a collision with teammate shortstop Bo Bichette.
With the bases loaded and down three runs in Game 2 of the American League wild-card series, J.P. Crawford of the Seattle Mariners blooped a single into shallow center field. With Springer charging in and Bichette racing back, Springer dove to make the final out but missed the catch and hit his head on Bichette’s arm.
