In the second half of the eighth inning, Mets batter Eric Young Jr. hit a ground ball to Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman. Young raced to first base to beat the throw, but stepped on Hudson’s ankle on the base. Hudson made the catch, but fell to the ground wincing in pain.
Hudson suffered a right ankle fracture and will undergo surgery in Atlanta when the swelling subsides.
The video above shows how the brutal injury occurred. Warning: footage is graphic.
