Athletics' Crisp exits wild-card game with leg injury

Peter G. Aiken-USA TODAY Sports

The Oakland Athletics would've been in tough if they advanced to the American League Division Series. 

Oakland lost a pair of players in Tuesday's wild-card game, a 9-8 loss to the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. 

Center fielder Coco Crisp was removed in the 11th inning with a leg injury he sustained during his final at-bat of the night. He attempted to come out for the bottom half of the frame, but walked off the field before the inning started. 

Catcher Geovany Soto was the first to exit, leaving after two innings with a left thumb injury.
