MINNEAPOLIS -- Yan Gomes found it difficult on Sunday to celebrate the Cleveland Indians win with his right arm in a sling. Red Air Jordan 5 Retro .Josh Tomlin pitched 7 2/3 strong innings, Mike Napoli hit one of three Cleveland homers and the Indians beat the Minnesota Twins 6-1.Gomes snapped an 0-for-27 hitless skid in the third inning with a double that went off the foot of Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson and trickled into the outfield through a hole at shortstop. Two innings later, he was carted off the field with a right shoulder injury.Running out a grounder, Gomes stepped awkwardly on first base as he tried to avoid the swipe tag of first baseman Kennys Vargas, who was pulled off the bag on the throw from third baseman Eduardo Nunez. Gomes landed on his shoulder as he tumbled to the ground.As far as I know its kind of like a shoulder separation, he said. Im going to Cleveland to be checked out and well know more later.Manager Terry Francona said Gomes, who has started 63 games behind the plate, will end up on the disabled list with a corresponding roster move forthcoming, most likely a recall of Roberto Perez, who left Triple-A Columbus game Sunday.Things like this happen, Francona said. Hopefully, youre prepared so it doesnt get in the way of what youre trying to do.Chris Gimenez had two RBI off the bench as the division-leading Indians won for just the third time in eight games.Gimenez replaced Gomes and hit a two-run single in the sixth for a 4-0 lead.Its extremely unfortunately for the team, for him number one, but my heart goes out to the guy, Gimenez said. He literally cannot get a break.Tomlin (10-2), who gave up eight runs -- including a season-high five earned -- in 4 2/3 innings against Detroit in his previous outing July 6, looked more like the pitcher that had six straight quality starts before that outing. He allowed six hits and struck out four against the Twins.Minnesota had two runners on in the first, but just three over the next four innings as Tomlin breezed through the Minnesota lineup. He retired 11 straight before Max Kepler homered in the sixth.I think mainly the offense put up enough runs and just let me go out there and settle in a little bit, he said. We were able to execute pitches when we needed to.Gibson (2-6) allowed a season-high 10 hits and four earned runs in six innings. He struck out four.We were going to see how aggressive they were going to be, Gibson said. They really showed more patience today than we probably expected.Napoli homered into the second deck in left field for a 1-0 lead in the second. It was his 20th of the season -- and second in three games -- to tie Carlos Santana for the team lead.Three straight two-out singles by Cleveland in the fifth inning increased the lead to 2-0 when Francisco Lindors RBI single scored Santana.Tyler Naquin homered in the eighth and Jason Kipnis in the ninth.TRAINERS ROOMIndians: RHP Tommy Hunter was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a non-displaced fracture in his lower back. Cleveland recalled RHP Cody Anderson from Triple-A Columbus to replace him. Francona said Hunter was carrying his child during the All-Star break and tripped on a stair, injuring his back protecting the child. Hunter still felt pain while throwing Saturday and an MRI found the fracture.Twins: General manager Terry Ryan said 3B Trevor Plouffe, on the disabled list since July 2 with a fractured left rib, is making progress, but theres still some things when hes sleeping and moving.UP NEXTIndians: Corey Kluber (9-8, 3.61), who earned the win at the All-Star Game with a scoreless inning, takes to the mound Monday in Kansas City against the Royals Edinson Volquez (8-8, 4.85). Since June 5, Kluber is 5-2 with a 2.79 ERA, allowing more than two earned runs just twice.Twins: Coming off consecutive quality starts, Ricky Nolasco (4-7, 5.22) is scheduled to be on the mound as the Twins open a three-game series Monday in Detroit. Matt Boyd (0-2, 5.77) is scheduled to start for the Tigers. Blue Air Jordan 5 Retro . It says Pocklingtons lawyer filed the appeal Friday in a California court. CTV Edmonton also says Pocklington gave a $100,000 cash deposit as part of the conditions of his bail, and that he will be out on bail until his appeal is heard. White Air Jordan 5 Retro .C. -- Chris Thorburn thinks one of the reasons the Winnipeg Jets have been successful under new coach Paul Maurice is that theyre playing together as a team. http://www.cheapairjordan5retro.com/ . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. Kingsmead has provided an assurance that the outfield issue which caused the first Test between South Africa and New Zealand to be abandoned earlier this week will not affect any other matches this season. Durban do not host a match for another five and a half weeks, when South Africa play Australia in an ODI on October 5, and acting CEO Rajesh Behari insists they will be ready.We are already hard at work taking measures to ensure that the condition of the outfield does not impact on both international and domestic fixtures in the future, Behari said in a statement.Already, ground staff at Kingsmead have filled the exposed patches with top soil and have fertilised the field to prompt the grass to grow as they wait for the ICCs verdict after the outfield was rated poor by ICC match referee Andy Pycroft. CSA had 14 days from the issue of the report card to respond to it. The ground will then either receive a warning or a fine up to US$15,000.In mitigation of the state of Kingsmeads outfield, which was deemed too soft for play on three days of the Test match, was that Durban experienced unseasonal rainfall of more than 400 millimetres in July and 65mm on the second night of the match. The heavy downpours meant the outfield was not allowed to settle after it was decompacted and relaid mid-June, following what CSA said were complaints by the South African and New Zealand players after limited-overs matches were played there last winter. It has since been reported by the Mercury that the New Zealand players did not have an issue with Kingsmead, but only said they found the Centurion outfield too hard.Both SuperSport Park and Kingsmead had work done to their outfields in preparation for this series but SuperSport Parks revamp took place in April and only involved overseeding with winter grass, not digging. Kinsgmeads happened more than two weeks after Comrades Marathon, which finished there on May 29, and saw 40 tonnes of sand removed and a new covering laid over it. It has since been claimed the digging at Kingsmeead was also done too deeply. Wholesale Air Jordan 5 Retro. CSA oversaw both processes.In this statement, Behari said the combination of all the factors contributed to the abandoned Test. Like CSA he acknowledged that his ground staff had done everything in their power to deal with the problems with the softened outfield, but that their role was limited in scope by the match officials in charge of the Test once the wet outfield complications developed.Umpires Ian Gould and Richard Illingworth asked the ground staff not to use any artificial means of drying the surface, fearing the super sopper would worsen the soggy outfield, and left it to natural sunshine and wind to dry and harden the ground. There was not enough of either for play to be possible but those watching from a distance, who saw clear blue skies on television and a tacky outfield below, were left to questions whether Kingsmead is up to international standard.Behari is determined to reassure those critics with pristine conditions for the rest of the summer, in which Kingsmead will host two ODIs, three franchise first-class games, four franchise one-day cup matches and five franchise T20 matches. There are no more Test matches scheduled for Kingsmead this summer but it may come into contention for next seasons Boxing Day match.We benchmark this stadium by the very best in the world and are determined to ensure that each and every match and Test matches in particular are memorable at this venue, Behari said. The only ground to have hosted more Test matches in South Africa is Newlands and our rich Test cricket heritage here at is something that we guard unwaveringly. Summer rains are a reality in Durban and we want to make sure that this ground, which has a good reputation for drainage and dealing with rain delays, will be in top condition for the upcoming domestic fixtures as well as the two internationals against Australia and Sri Lanka.
