Cannonballs coming: Steven Brault suffers leg injury

Bradenton was off.

Steven Brault left with an injury in the third inning of Indianapolis' (15-13) 5-4 loss to Louisville. He had to be helped off the field with an apparent lower leg, possibly ankle, injury after running to first on a force play in the bottom of the inning. (With runners at the corners and one out, Brault's pinch runner, Chad Kuhl, promptly got picked off. He obviously needs several more months in the minors to work on his pinch running technique.) In the three innings he pitched, Brault allowed no runs, two hits and two walks, while striking out five.
