howard hurt in win over nats

Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard had a rough day today in the Phillies win over the Nationals.

PhightinPhils.com reported:

The injury whammy struck the Phillies again today early in the 1st inning against the Nationals. Ryan Howard got hit in the elbow with a pitch and then twisted his ankle a few pitches later. Ben Francisco hit a single and Howard rounded 2nd, thinking about 3rd base. He awkwardly rushed back to 2nd and his ankle turned over. Howard had to be helped off the field; even worse, he got an Atomic wedgie in the process.
