TORONTO (AP) — Toronto first baseman Justin Smoak figured teammate Randal Grichuk never saw it coming.Grichuk was injured in a bizarre collision with a security guard’s chair Hector Rondon Jersey , and replacement Tesocar Hernandez hit a three-run homer as the Blue Jays beat the Cleveland Indians 6-2 on Sunday.The Indians’ magic number to lock up their third straight AL Central title stayed at five.Grichuk was checked for a possible concussion after slamming face-first into the guard’s metal stool while chasing Brandon Guyer’s foul fly in the fourth inning. Initial concussion tests were negative, the Blue Jays said, but more tests will be done Monday. He’s been diagnosed with multiple facial cuts but no fractures.As Grichuk and Smoak sprinted toward the ball, a security staffer seated along the wall stood up and backed away from the area, carrying his stool and seemingly unaware the outfielder was closing in. Grichuk slid and made the catch, but crashed into the stool the staffer was holding by his side.“I peeked at him and I saw him sliding, trying to make a play there, so I peeled out,” Smoak said. “All of a sudden I heard him get clocked with a chair in the face. Scary right there for a second, but hopefully he’s all right.”Grichuk stayed down for several minutes and was treated on the field by Blue Jays trainers. When he stood up to walk off, television images showed a long, swollen mark on his face, running across his nose and between his eyes.Smoak said it’s difficult to be aware of obstacles, especially because Toronto’s domed roof makes it hard to look away from flyballs.“We’re worried about each other and the ball at the same time,” Smoak said. “There’s no chance either of us was thinking about the security guard.”Manager John Gibbons said he saw Grichuk in the clubhouse following the game.“He was laughing a bit, so that was a good sign Anthony Gose Jersey ,” Gibbons said. “He’s a pretty boy, you don’t want to hurt that face.”Hernandez entered the game when Grichuk exited, and homered in the eighth.Smoak connected off Mike Clevinger (11-8) in the first, his team-leading 24th.Francisco Lindor hit a solo homer off Thomas Pannone (2-1) in the third, his career-best 34th and third of the series. Smoak answered with a two-out RBI single in the bottom half.Brandon Barnes chased Pannone with a one-out homer in the Cleveland seventh, his first since 2015. Ryan Tepera came on and struck out the next two batters.Michael Brantley singled off left-hander Jose Fernandez to begin the eighth but righty Jake Petricka came on and struck out Jose Ramirez, Edwin Encarnacion, and Yandy Diaz.David Paulino got two outs in the ninth but put two runners on before Ken Giles came on and got Lindor to ground out, earning his 20th save in as many opportunities.Making his third career start in place of right-hander Marcus Stroman (blister), Pannone allowed two runs and four hits in 6 1-3 innings against his former team.A Double-A All-Star in the Indians organization last season, Pannone was dealt to Toronto for reliever Joe Smith on July 31, 2017.“It was a great opportunity to go out there and face the team that traded me last season,” Pannone said. “It was definitely extra special.”Indians manager Terry Francona said Pannone “took the sting out of our bats.”“He doesn’t light up the radar gun,” Francona said, “It just seemed like he got past our barrels, had us reaching. A lot of popups.”30-30Cleveland’s Jose Ramirez stole second base in the first http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-jimmy-wynn-jersey , becoming the third 30-homer, 30-steal player in Indians history. Joe Carter did it in 1987 and Grady Sizemore in 2008. Ramirez is the first 30-30 player in the big leagues since 2012, when Ryan Braun and Mike Trout both reached the mark.ROWDY’S RUN ENDSBlue Jays rookie Rowdy Tellez went 0 for 4, his first hitless game since making his debut last week. Tellez set a Blue Jays record Saturday, becoming the first player in team history with eight hits in his first four games.HOME IS WHERE THE HOMERS AREThe Blue Jays have 103 home runs at home, second in the AL to the Yankees (127).TRAINER’S ROOMIndians: LHP Andrew Miller (left shoulder) is expected to be activated off the 10-day disabled Monday.Blue Jays: Hernandez went to left field after Grichuk’s injury, with Billy McKinney moving from left to right. … Toronto activated INF Yangervis Solarte off the 10-day DL.

Borucki is 1-0 in two starts against the Red Sox this season, allowing 11 runs in eight innings. LHP Chris Sale (12-4, 1.97) starts for Boston. OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — On a rare day when Matt Olson wasn’t in the starting lineup, he still became a difference-maker.Olson homered to drive in the go-ahead run, Khris Davis hit his major league-leading 41st home run and the Oakland Athletics defeated the Texas Rangers 8-6 on Saturday for their fifth win in six games.Olson broke a 6-6 tie against Chris Martin (1-4) leading off the eighth. Olson has a career-high 25 homers Francisco Liriano Jersey , one more than last year. He entered in the seventh on what was scheduled to be a day off, and he is the only A’s player to appear in all 143 games.“I just think we’re resilient, we don’t really give up on anything,” Olson said. “If we get a lead and give it up or if it’s a tie game, everybody wants the opportunity to put us ahead and it’s just worked out that way.”Davis hit a two-run homer in the first. He has 10 homers against the Rangers this year, matching his total against Texas in 2016.Chad Pinder also homered and Matt Chapman added an RBI double in the eighth. The A’s, a big league-best 31-15 since the All-Star break, began the day a season-high 6½ games ahead of Seattle for the AL’s second wild card.Oakland (86-57) is 29 games over .500 for the first time since ending 2013 at 96-66.

At 61-81, the Rangers matched their season high of 20 games under .500; they were 42-62 after a loss to the A’s on July 26.“Huge bright spot,” Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.Oakland starter Edwin Jackson allowed four runs and five hits in a season-low three innings.Davis’s homer was the only hit in four innings off 23-year-old left-hander Yohander Mendez, who was coming off his first big league win last weekend against Minnesota.Texas led 4-2 before Jed Lowrie’s two-run double in the fifth.

Wouldn’t surprise you if the wall tipped over as hard as he plays.”The 23-year-old rookie slid in the fifth to cut off Rougned Odor’s double to the gap, preventing Shin-Soo Choo from scoring from first.SAMPSON’S STARTSeptember call-up Adrian Sampson is to start Tuesday at the Los Angeles Angels.
