Edwin Diaz’s brother Alexis had a heartbreaking reaction to the closer’s injury during Puerto Rico celebration

What an awful moment during Puerto Rico’s celebration.

It was a roller coaster of emotions for the Puerto Rico team at the 2023 World Baseball Classic on Thursday.

One second, they were celebrating an upset win over the Dominican Republic, clinching a spot in the next round of the WBC.

The next, they were shocked to see star closer Edwin Diaz in serious pain on the ground, an injury suffered during the celebration on the field. As the New York Mets pitcher was carried off, unable to put weight on his right leg, FOX cameras caught Diaz’s brother, fellow pitcher Alexis Diaz, sobbing.

It was a devastating, heartbreaking scene:

On Tuesday, the New York Mets and Cincinnati Reds were set to face off for a mid-season bout. Ahead of the game, brothers Alexis Diaz of the Reds and Edwin Diaz of the Mets came out to exchange lineup cards as the pair’s teams were set to go head to head.

In an incredibly wholesome display, the Diaz brothers shared a wonderful moment at home plate as the pair went in for a hug. Not only that, their parents were in attendance and were spotted wearing split Mets and Reds jerseys as well.
