BREAKING: Brantley Leaves Game With Right Ankle Sprain

CLEVELAND-- On the cusp of a two game losing streak, the last thing the Indians needed tonight was an injury to one their best players.

Michael Brantley left the game with a right ankle sprain in the top of the 5th inning tonight. The injury was confirmed by the team.

He was dashing after a fly ball when he just crumpled, and remained in a seated position until the trainers came out and helped him off the field.

If you recall, Brantley missed time earlier this year with ankle issues. Brantley has had a great season thus far, fresh off an All Star appearance last month.

As for the game, Kluber is pitching a gem, but the lack of offense has hurt the club, as they trail the Colorado Rockies 1-0 in the 6th.
