CLEVELAND -- Yan Gomes moved into his crouch and tapped his right leg, calling for an outside pitch from Indians starter Josh Tomlin. The catcher raised his glove -- positioned low and away -- and Tomlin shifted into his motion on the mound.
The four-seamer did not find the intended target. Instead, the pitch tailed back over the heart of the plate, found the barrel of Miguel Sano's bat and rocketed over the right-field wall. Tomlin is no stranger to solo home runs, but this one stung more as Friday's 1-0 loss to the Twins wore on.
