Cruz fractures ankle in collision at home, benches clear

Oneil Cruz was helped off the field by trainers with an apparent injury to his left leg after a collision with White Sox catcher Seby Zavala on a slide at home plate during the sixth inning of Sunday's game at PNC Park.

With runners on the corners and nobody out, Ke'Bryan Hayes chopped a grounder to third baseman Yoan Moncada, who went home with the throw as Cruz took off. The throw came in high, and Zavala's landing after jumping for the ball positioned him in front of the plate.
