SAN FRANCISCO -- Joey Gallo exited in the 8th inning of Friday's game against the Giants at AT&T Park with a left ankle injury.
Gallo twisted his left ankle on a broken-bat RBI single and hobbled out of the batter's box to first base. He was replaced by pinch-runner Carlos Tocci, who remained in the game to play center field.
On July 22, Gallo was lifted from a game against the Indians due to a left ankle sprain. He only missed one game.
DENVER -- As they surged up the National League Wild Card standings in recent weeks, the Cardinals and Rockies appeared more and more primed to enter this pivotal three-game series on a collision course.
