Zach Britton overcomes injury scare to close out Yankees
Zach Britton was pitching in the ninth when fielding a comebacker to the mound by Sanchez. The ball did not hit him, but he was grimacing afterwards and may have tweaked his knee while bending down awkwardly to field the grounder.
After throwing out Sanchez at first base, the trainer was called out but Britton indicated that he was okay. He then promptly closed out the Yankees a few minutes later.
Britton is a key piece for the Orioles and many fantasy teams out there. The fact he is okay is a huge relief. Expect to hear more details during the postgame about his injury scare.
