Gomes exits after throwing hand strikes bat
Gomes injury KANSAS CITY -- Indians catcher Yan Gomes exited Saturday night's game against the Royals in the third inning after his right hand met the barrel of Alex Gordon's bat.
With none out in the third, Gomes came up firing to second base when Adalberto Mondesi sprinted from first on a stolen-base attempt. Gordon swung at the pitch from Indians ace Corey Kluber, but the bat lingered over the plate for a moment on his backswing. Gomes was unable to avoid the bat and he hit his fingers on the wood at full force, sending the baseball flying errantly over the infield.
