Michael Lorenzen leaves Cincinnati Reds game with injury in season debut

After missing the first three months of the season, Michael Lorenzen didn't want to ease into anything. Not with the Cincinnati Reds sitting outside the playoff picture.

Lorenzen's season debut came to a disappointing end Saturday when he scored the game-tying run in the 10th inning, coming up lame while sprinting down the third-base line on a sacrifice fly.

He hobbled across the plate, flipped off his helmet and went straight to the clubhouse with a trainer by his side.

With one out in the bottom of the 10th inning, trailing by a run, Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson hit a fly ball to medium distance in left field.
