MLB: Houston’s Odorizzi collapses

Astros right-hander Jake Odorizzi collapsed running to cover first base in the fifth inning Monday night against the Red Sox and was taken off the Fenway Park field on a stretcher.

Odorizzi appeared to twist his left leg awkwardly on the delivery to Kiké Hernandez. When he turned to cover first base, he took a step and then sprawled out, face down, on the grass. He remained there after the out was recorded, and Astros

staff rushed to tend to him. He was loaded onto a stretcher and wheeled off.
