Gomes exits an inning after being hit in mask

The Indians were not going to take any chances when catcher Yan Gomes began to feel ill after absorbing a deflected pitch off the mask on Thursday afternoon. In the sixth inning of the Tribe’s 4-1 loss to the Twins, Gomes exited with concussion-like symptoms, but the catcher’s ailment was not technically classified as a concussion. Gomes was evaluated by a doctor on site at Target Field and will continue to be monitored by the Indians overnight.
