George Springer Suffers Knee Contusion in ALCS Game 5, Manager Schneider Blasts Booing Fans

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer sustained a right-knee contusion after being struck by a 95 mph sinker from Mariners pitcher Bryan Woo in the seventh inning of ALCS Game 5. Despite negative X-rays, Springer, who had tied the game with a double in the fifth, immediately fell in pain and walked with a significant limp before being pinch-run for. Blue Jays manager John Schneider expressed strong disapproval of Mariners fans who booed Springer's injury, calling them to 'take a look in the mirror.' Schneider noted Springer's toughness and hopes he will be available for Game 6 on Sunday, despite the obvious pain he was in.
