Souza leaves game with left hip soreness

ST. PETERSBURG -- Steven Souza Jr. had to leave Tuesday night's Rays-Mariners contest with left hip soreness after diving for a ball in right field.

With no outs in the top of the seventh, Nelson Cruz lined a ball to right field. Souza gave chase before attempting to make a diving catch. At first he appeared to come down with the catch before the ball escaped his glove.

Souza got to his feet and appeared to hobble after the loose ball. After he threw the ball to the infield, he went to the turf on his back.
