Braves starting pitcher Charlie Morton broke his leg mid-inning in Game 1 of the World Series against the Houston Astros on Tuesday - but he still struck out two more batters despite the injury.
Morton - whose right fibula was broken when a hit from Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel struck his leg in the second inning - threw 16 pitches, striking out Astros Chas McCormick and Martín Maldonado, before stepping out of the game at the end of the second inning.
Ultimately, Morton threw 44 pitches in total and the Braves were leading 5-0 when he left the game.
Other Braves players told ESPN that Morton later apologized to them for not staying in the game longer.
"He was doing exactly what we hired him to do," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker told ESPN. "Bring credibility. He did it all year. He did it tonight. And I hate it for him. He really is the kind of guy that would break his leg and say he's sorry."
The Braves won 6-2 over the Astros on Tuesday night. Game 2 takes place Wednesday night.
