It was a shorter night than usual for Luis Castillo as the second baseman took a tumble to injure his ankle against the St Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. The New York Mets player sprained his ankle as he slipped down the stairs in leading to the dugout. 
Castillo was heading back to the dugout after grounding out when leading off in the seventh inning. His return to the dugout was quite eventful as he tumbled down the stairs and required the assistance of his teammates to get back on his feet.
Angel Berroa came on as the replacement in the shortstop position at the top of the eight inning. Castillo’s place was taken by Alex Cora who moved to second base. Castillo had gone 1 for 3 on the night as he now takes a week or more off to recuperate from the ankle injury.
