NEW YORK -- Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler left Colorado's game against the New York Mets with a sprained right ankle.

X-rays were negative, the Denver Post reported.

"It doesn't feel good right now, but I knew it wasn't broken. I have sprained it plenty of times in basketball," Fowler told the Post. "It's just one of those things that happens."

Fowler took a huge turn around first base on his fourth-inning single Wednesday night, so right fielder Scott Hairston threw behind him. Fowler took off for second and made it easily when the ball got past Mets first baseman Ike Davis.
