Manny Machado getting injured on his first at-bat is not an auspicious way to start this #Padres #Rockies game.

Oh no! #Padres MVP candidate Manny Machado injures his ankle while running to first base. He turned his ankle badly while reaching the bag.#Rockies

Manny Machado just got hurt to end the inning. Looks pretty severe, and unlikely he returns to the game. #Rockies #Padres

That Manny Machado injury did NOT look good at all.. when i sprained my ankle and tore a ligament in high school i rounded 2nd base and rolled the ankle very similarly..
