Orioles third baseman Manny Machado suffered an ugly left knee injury on Monday afternoon in the seventh inning of the game in Tampa Bay. With the Orioles leading 4-2 and one out, Machado reached on an infield single to second base.
When he reached first, Machado's left leg buckled at the knee and he went down in a heap of pain. Machado had to be taken off the field on a stretcher.
The 21-year-old is certainly done for 2013. He was 2 for 4 in the game with a run scored and has a .283 batting average. Machado has 14 homers and leads all of baseball with 51 doubles. He's scored 88 runs this season with 71 RBI for the Orioles.
