Puerto Rico produced a big upset at the World Baseball Classic on Wednesday night with a 5-2 win against the Dominican Republic. But it came at a cost.
While celebrating the win with his teammates, New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz suffered a right knee injury and was taken off the field in a wheelchair.
Puerto Rico’s players – including Díaz’s brother, Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Alexis – were in tears as they watched the righter-hander leave the field.
The freak injury could be bad news for the Mets, as well as for Puerto Rico.
