X-rays show Hirsh pitched with broken leg vs. Brewers
Associated Press
DENVER -- X-rays taken Wednesday show Rockies pitcher Jason Hirsh suffered a broken leg when he was hit by a line drive in the first inning the night before, even though he stayed in for five more innings and got the victory.
The club said Hirsh has a fractured fibula in his lower right leg. He will be re-evaluated Thursday.
Hirsh (5-7) gave up two earned runs on three hits over six innings Tuesday and the Rockies beat Milwaukee 11-4.
The Rockies also placed catcher Edwin Bellorin on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, two days after he was called up to the majors leagues for the first time.
Bellorin, brought up from Triple-A Colorado Springs, made only one plate appearance in his brief stay. He hit into a double play in the second inning and strained a hamstring while running out the play.
Colorado purchased the contract of catcher Alvin Colina from Colorado Springs. Colina was hitting .204 and had five homers and 29 RBIs in 64 games with Colorado Springs.
