Shortstop with the Pittsburgh Pirates On Sunday, Oneil Cruz broke his left ankle while sliding into home plate against the Chicago White Sox.
The repercussions of the slide resulted in the Pirates winning 1-0. With no outs in the sixth inning and the Pirates leading 1-0, the event occurred. Ke'Bryan Hayes hit into a fielder's choice with Cruz on third. Yoán Moncada of the White Sox retrieved the ground ball and tossed it home to catcher Seby Zavala.
Cruz tumbled into home, pinning his left ankle beneath his body. Cruz lay on the ground in evident discomfort when Zavala tagged him out. The Pirates' designated hitter Carlos Santana exchanged words with Zavala before the benches cleared. Throughout the brawl, Cruz stayed on the ground in pain while Pirates trainer Tony Leo attended to him. Nobody was thrown out.
After the play, Zavala glanced down at Cruz and said, "b****, what the f*** was that?" ― evidently displeased with Cruz's clumsy slip that led to the accident. He didn't appear to be aware that Cruz was hurt. Cruz's teammates defended him.
Cruz sustained a fractured ankle after the game, according to Pirates manager Derek Shelton. The long-term outlook was not immediately known, but the injury is a setback for a young player coming off a good rookie season.
Cruz, 24, batted.233/.285/.450 in 87 games last season, with 17 home runs, 54 RBI, and 10 stolen bases. He placed sixth in the NL Rookie of the Year voting and earned a slot in the Pirates' starting lineup. Before Sunday, he was off to a terrific start this season, slashing.267/.378/.400 with a home run, four RBI, and two stolen bases in eight outings.
After Sunday's win, the Pirates were 6-3, good for second place in the NL Central behind the 7-2 Milwaukee Brewers.

Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million.
