Ruben Tejada, who suffered a broken leg in Game 2 of the NLDS from Chase Utley’s hard slide into second base, said he thought the slide was dirty.
“Really late,” Tejada said of the slide, which ended his postseason.
Tejada was carted off the field after Utley slid hard and late into second base trying to break up a potential double play. He suffered a fractured right fibula, which does not require surgery, but ended his season.
Tejada said he was surprised another middle infielder would slide that hard and late into a base to break up a play.
