DENVER — Brad Penny just wanted a minute to catch his breath. The next thing he knew he was being escorted out of the game by trainers.
"I could've stayed in," Penny said after the Los Angeles Dodgers' 5-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night. "I'm like, 'I'm fine.' They're like, 'No."'
Manager Grady Little held his breath after Penny hurt himself in the seventh inning as he beat out an infield single. Penny hunched over after he reached first base and the trainers sprinted out to examine him.
Turns out it was only an abdominal cramp. But Los Angeles didn't want to take any chances. Not with their ace.
"I was hoping it wasn't too bad," Little said. "Anytime you see someone fold over like that, it's scary."
