Jake Odorizzi fell running to cover first base in the fifth inning of the Houston Astros' 6-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Monday night and was taken off the Fenway Park field on a stretcher.

The Astros said Odorizzi had "left lower leg discomfort."

The pitcher was on crutches, in a boot and in good spirits after the game, Dusty Baker said.

Odorizzi appeared to twist his left leg awkwardly on the delivery to Kike Hernandez. When he turned to cover first base, he took a step and then sprawled out, face down, on the grass.
