Last night's Brewers game between the Diamondbacks had a lot of crazy plays! Two players, one on each team, broke bones on a play. One was in the outfield by Carlos Gomez, Brewers and a slide at the plate from Stephen Drew, Diamondbacks. Both players will be out extended amounts of time. Carlos Gomez broke his collar bone and Stephen Drew broke his right ankle. I have to warn you the replay of this slide is gruesome. His right ankle is rolled extremely un-naturally and he will be having season ending surgery. Speedy recoveries go out to both players. Meanwhile, the Brewers won in the tenth inning inning scoring 3 runs and then a save by Milwaukee's closer John "The Axe Man Cometh" Axford. http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=446099
