MINNEAPOLIS -- Yan Gomes found it difficult on Sunday to celebrate the Cleveland Indians win with his right arm in a sling.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. Jerseys China . Louis Blues. Shane Hnidy joins Brian Munz for the broadcast on TSN 1290 Radio at 7pm ct.

MINNEAPOLIS -- One game was difficult enough for Mike Zimmer to miss.He sure didnt want to sit out longer than that, even after major eye surgery.The hard-driving head coach has returned to work with the Minnesota Vikings, who announced on Monday that Zimmer is expected to travel with the team this weekend to Jacksonville.Thats a three-hour flight, a little bit more than a week after Zimmer had an emergency operation to repair a detached retina, but the Vikings (6-6) wouldnt have proactively declared him fit for the job again if there were still uncertainty about his status for the game on Sunday against the Jaguars (2-10).The matchup with a team with the third-worst record in the NFL has taken on an extra measure of significance, given the freefall Minnesota has experienced since a league-leading 5-0 start. The Vikings have dropped in the NFC North two games behind Detroit, which owns the division tiebreaker with a season sweep, and theyre on the outside of the race for two wild card spots. The 17-15 loss to Dallas on Thursday, with special teams coordinator Mike Priefer running the team in Zimmers absence, was their sixth in the last seven games.Vikings players had four days off after their second consecutive Thursday game and will reconvene for practice on Tuesday. Zimmers first news conference upon his return is scheduled for Wednesday. Zimmer had two surgeeries on his right eye about a month ago, but his recovery was sidetracked last Wednesday when he developed vision trouble during practice and was sent for surgery that night.ddddddddddddHe had a fourth procedure on Friday, according to an ESPN report.Befitting his classic old-school personality, whose late father was a longtime high school football coach in the Chicago area, Zimmer was spending longer days than usual on the job last month, often arriving at work around 4:15 a.m. if he didnt sleep in the office the night before in an attempt to help the Vikings stop their slide.General manager Rick Spielman said Zimmers setback was unrelated to his unrelenting dedication to the job after the problem first surfaced in late October. Spielman, though, said he spoke with Zimmer last week about keeping perspective when the prospect of him missing a game surfaced.We had some pretty significant talks, one-on-one, heart-to-heart, on what is important in life and what isnt, Spielman said. I think after we met, I expressed to him specifically, that potentially going blind in one eye is not worth one game in the NFL. We have to look out for your long-term health.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
