Alex Gordon out with an injury for game in Omaha

History will be made tonight as the Royals and Tigers play the first ever MLB game to be played in Omaha. The game, to be played at TD Ameritrade Park, will kick off the College World Series, which is played annually in Omaha.

It was to be a homecoming for Nebraska native Alex Gordon, who grew up in nearby Lincoln and attended the University of Nebraska. Unfortunately, Gordon will be out for tonight’s game with a compressed nerve.

Ned said Alex Gordon has a compressed nerve in his back from the HBP yesterday. Likely shut down for the night.
