It was a scary moment tonight for Twins’ fans in the fifth inning when they likely cheered as Carlos Gomez stole base number two on the game and thirteen on the season. But seconds later, when Gomez didn’t move, those smiles changed to fear.
Gomez was having a pretty good game, he was 1-1 with a single, a hit by pitch, a walk, two runs and two steals. It was all going well for the young speedster. But as he dove head-first into second, Gomez took the Ivan Rodriguez throw off the ear flap and didn’t move.
The team’s trainer rushed to the field along with temporary manager Scott Ullger. Moments later, something that is hardly ever seen happened, two team doctors ran onto the field, wearing suits.
Gomez did finally move after what seemed like forever, and then rose to his feet, and slowly walked to the cart where he was wheeled off the field. Gomez never left the Metrodome, and according to reports, was checked by doctors and is said to be doing okay with no problems.
It is unknown if Go-Go will play tomorrow, but the injury looks much better than it first appeared.
