Elvis Andrus injured while scoring walk-off run

The Oakland A’s won a walk-off over the division-leading Houston Astros on Saturday, but the victory came at a cost.

Shortstop Elvis Andrus scored the winning run, but he was injured on his way around the bases.

“As he was coming around third, felt a pop in his left ankle,” said manager Bob Melvin. Andrus went for an X-ray after the game.

With the score tied in the bottom of the 9th, Andrus led off with a single and then Starling Marte launched a double to deep right-center.
