A's Stephen Piscotty to undergo MRI on right knee after 'scary' slide

The A's beat the Angels for the second straight night Saturday, but the victory was overshadowed by a potentially serious knee injury to Stephen Piscotty.

Oakland's right fielder left the game in the sixth inning with a sprained right knee after an awkward slide into second base. Piscotty was able to walk off the field with the help of A's third baseman Matt Chapman and manager Bob Melvin.

Hoping Piscotty will be okay.

"It was scary, obviously," Melvin told reporters after the game.
