"For a few moments last night, the Red Sox thought they had lost Dustin Pedroia to a serious injury.

Pedroia slipped while rounding second base in the eighth inning of last night's 3-2 loss against the Indians and fell face-first on the rain-soaked infield at Progressive Field.

Pedroia did not immediately try to get up. He struggled to his feet, then left the game escorted by a trainer, walking cautiously."
