Nelson Cruz had his ankle looked at further on Sunday morning and the Mariners were awaiting the results of his MRI to determine his availability going forward.
Cruz hit his second two-run home run in as many games when he belted one in the sixth inning.
But strangeness ensued and soon after he was getting X-rays and in a walking boot. Mariners manager Scott Servais said that Cruz had slipped on the bottom step leaving the dugout into the batting cage and twisted his ankle, forcing him to leave the game.
“I couldn’t even walk,” Cruz said afterward.
