One had a feeling that the Oakland A’s would not get good news about Elvis Andrus. He had felt a pop in his ankle rounding third base, collapsing on the diamond after he scored the game winning run on Saturday. Even though the A’s had to hope for the best, they realistically had to know that would not be the case.
Those fears turned out to be true. Andrus suffered a fractured fibula on the play, scoring that winning run on a mixture of heart, guts, and adrenaline as he ensured that the A’s would not fall further behind in their quest for the playoffs.
