Everyone knew that Spencer Jones, when he makes contact, can hit the ball very hard.

The New York Yankees' 6-foot-7 rookie apparently can hit the ball at a dangerous speed.

That's what happened on Friday night against the New York Mets. Jones was hitting against Mets righty Clay Holmes, and he blasted a ball back up the middle.

It clobbered Holmes' leg, and Jones reached when the deflection couldn't be fielded in time to get him out. It goes in the books as a single for Jones, but it was bad news for the Mets.

Turns out, Holmes got a fractured fibula.

After the game, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Holmes will be out "for a long time."

It's that kind of season for the Mets, really. Things just aren't going right.
