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.Royals Jerseys 2020 .

And it gives Djokovic the chance to gain more ground in the championship count, too, of course: He can raise his trophy total to 13, which would place him alone in fourth place behind Federer (17), Rafael Nadal (14) and Pete Sampras (14).After a draining, and decidedly unusual, four-set victory over Gael Monfils in the semifinals Friday, when he got both shoulders massaged by a trainer, Djokovic looked forward to a bit of rest. Thats kind of rich, considering he has spent almost exactly half as much time on court as Wawrinka so far: a tad under 9 hours vs. slightly less than 18 hours.I have an extra day now to recover and get ready for the finals, which is, you know, where definitely I desire to be whenever I come to the Grand Slams, said Djokovic, the No. 1 seed and defending champion. I want to be able to put myself in position to fight for the trophy, and everything that has happened in the tournament so far is behind me now. My thoughts are only on Sundays match.As well they should be. For while No. 3 seed Wawrinka will be participating in only his third Grand Slam final, he won each of the other two. Plus, he has won each of his past 10 finals at all tournaments. And while he is only 4-19 against Djokovic over their careers, half of Wawrinkas victories came en route to his major titles, in the quarterfinals of the 2014 Australian Open and the final of the 2015 French Open.Stan is a big-match player, Djokovic acknowledged. He loves the big stage.Hes also something of a late bloomer.Wawrinka did not reach a Grand Slam semifinal until his 35th appearance in a major, at age 28.Now, a little more than five months past his 31st birthday, he can become the oldest U.S. Open champion since Ken Rosewall was 35 in 1970. Hed also be only the fifth man in the Open era with at least two major titles after 30 (his Swiss countryman and pal, Federer, only has one since turning that age).ddddddddddddI know I have some ups and downs during the year. Im not playing my best tennis in every tournament. But Im trying to work as hard as I can to give me the chance to play well every time I step on the court, Wawrinka said after beating Kei Nishikori in a four-set semifinal. And in Grand Slams is where I want to play my best tennis, is where I want to be the better player, always find a way to find my game and to put everything together.Wawrinka, though, nearly departed Flushing Meadows last weekend. Thats when, in the third round against 64th-ranked Dan Evans, Wawrinka faced a match point in a fourth-set tiebreaker, saved it, and wound up winning in the fifth, repeatedly using whats become his trademark gesture: pointing an index finger to his temple.Whats that all about?Sometimes, I dont always find myself comfortable on the court and I have to fight with myself. So thats what Im focusing (on) here: to fight, to suffer, to accept to suffer, to accept that the player in front of me (is) playing better, he explained. And thats when Im happy with myself and proud of myself -- when I stay strong with what I want to do.Nothing he does on a court with his racket is as important as his smooth, one-handed backhand. When on-target, it might be the prettiest, and most effective, shot in all of tennis.Djokovic can lay claim to some superlatives, too. His return of serve ranks up there with the best ever. As do his body-twisting court coverage and ability to go from defense to offense just like that.This matchup will be Djokovics seventh U.S. Open final, and Wawrinkas first.In general, I know when I arrive in the final, Im ready to play my best tennis, and thats what Im looking for. Thats what Im trying to do, Wawrinka said. But ... when you play Novak, even playing your best tennis, you can also lose.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
