The Los Angeles Angels have not had any luck in Boston over the past two games. First they were blown out 9-1 in the opening game and then followed that performance up with a 9-6 loss on Wednesday, but they lost more than just the game.

In the bottom of the eighth inning, Angels rookie pitcher Jake Jewell attempted to make a play to get JD Martinez out at home plate but ended up wiping out on his way to the plate and suffered a very gruesome injury.

It’s always tough to see someone go down with an injury, especially when they need to be carted off the field, but what makes this even more upsetting for both Jewell and the Angels is the fact that the 25-year-old was called up earlier today.

Here’s hoping Jewell is able to make a full and speedy recovery after that one.
