    Prized San Diego Padres rookie Fernando Tatis Jr. slid awkwardly into third base, rolled up on his left arm and lay still for a few moments.

    Players and fans alike held their breath until Tatis Jr. slowly stood up, was checked by a trainer and stayed in the game.

    "It made my heart stop," manager Andy Green said after Tatis had a two-run double, stole two bases and made another nice defensive play in the Padres' 7-1 victory against the Colorado Rockies on Friday night. "He plays hard. That was the first unathletic thing I've seen Fernando Tatis do since he's been here. That was an awkward slide. We're glad he's OK."
