If you want to see video of the play that Jarred Kelenic got injured on, the good people of milb.com have you covered here (sort of).

That very same game ended with Héctor Neris and Max Muncy trading spice.

Max Muncy said Héctor Neris screamed “Fuck you!” toward the Dodgers’ dugout after the last out. “He’s blown about eight saves against us over the last two years,” Muncy said. “I guess he was finally excited he got one.”
