    It looked so horrific when it happened that Red Sox manager Terry Francona vowed that he would not watch a replay.

    The left leg of Cleveland Indians rookie catcher Carlos Santana, one of the top prospects in baseball, collapsed at a freakish angle when Red Sox rookie Ryan Kalish slid into him attempting to score in the seventh inning Monday night.

    "I don't want to see it," Francona said after the Indians beat the Red Sox 6-5. "I saw it live. I don't want to see the replay."

    Kalish was attempting to score on a single to right field by a third rookie, pinch hitter Daniel Nava, when he slid full-bore into Santana's left leg, which was planted to block the plate as he took a strong throw from right fielder Shin-Soo Choo.
