KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City Royals' Jonathan India, who played left field today, had to leave the game against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday after being hit in the head by a pitch. India was up to bat in the ninth inning with two outs when Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase threw two fastball s, a pitch he doesn't regularly throw, up and inside, the latter hitting him on his helmet at 99 mph. KC Cauldron calls for Sporting KC head coach Peter Vermes to resign India went down to a knee before leaving the game, visibly frustrated. MJ Melendez came in to pinch-run. A team spokesperson said India does not have a concussion and he will be evaluated further over the next few days. Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino expressed some irritation toward Clase's pitch. "He threw a pitch that he doesn't ever throw, the pitch before, which was a four-seam fastball. It was his first one of the year," Pasquantino said. "And then they try to come back up and in with the next pitch. Look, I get it, you're trying to let a pitch ride. It didn't and it hit him right in the face after almost hitting him in the face the pitch before. Obviously, I'm upset by it. I'm more upset for Jon.

The Guardians ended up winning the game 6-2 and won two of the three games in the series. The Royals will now head to Milwaukee to face the Brewers for a three-game series starting tomorrow at 1:10 p.m. ...read more read less
