Braves reliever Jason Grilli suffers leg injury (The Associated Press)

DENVER (AP) -- Atlanta Braves reliever Jason Grilli left Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies in the bottom of the ninth after tumbling to the ground and suffering a lower left leg injury as he ran toward first to cover the bag.

Drew Stubbs hit a grounder that first baseman Chris Johnson ranged to his right to field.

Grilli was sprinting to cover the bag when he appeared to take a bad step and crumpled to the ground, grabbing his lower left leg in pain. Stubbs was safe on what was ruled a hit.
