Howard Simmons/New York Daily NewsTim Hudson writhes in agony as emergency workers rush to treat the injured Braves pitcher.
With the game all but over and Braves starter Tim Hudson cruising through the bottom of the eighth inning, Eric Young Jr. unintentionally brought agony to Atlanta.
As the speedy Mets left fielder hustled down the line to beat a toss from Freddie Freeman, Young accidentally spiked Hudson who was covering first base. The result was a gruesome injury to Hudson's ankle, which caused the right-hander to fall immediately to the turf, writhing in pain as the paramedics tended to him. Hudson had pitched brilliantly up until that point, tossing 7.1 innings of scoreless ball.
Young immediately went over to apologize and seemed beside himself as the scene unfolded. The right-hander was eventually immobilized on a backboard and carted off the field, but before the cart left, Young approached Hudson and apologized, to which Hudson appeared to respond, "it's alright" in the replay.
