NEW YORK -- Cleveland Indians pitcher David Huff was back with the team only a few hours after he was hit above the left ear by Alex Rodriguez's line drive Saturday and carted off the field.
Huff was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan for a CT scan, which was negative. The Indians said the 25-year-old left-hander never lost consciousness or experienced memory loss.
"He's doing well, we'll find out more tomorrow," Indians manager Manny Acta said after the Indians rallied from a big deficit for a 13-11 victory over the Yankees. "He did not have any concussive symptoms right now."
Down, 10-4, in the sixth inning to CC Sabathia, the Indians came back to win in their highest-scoring game of the season.
Huff returned to Yankee Stadium by the ninth inning, saw a couple of teammates, showered and took the team bus with his brother, Tim, and their parents.
He received a phone call from Rodriguez, who was going to the hospital after the game but was told to turn around after Huff was discharged.
Rodriguez told Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo in a phone call: "Your heart stops. You want so badly to take it back."
TORONTO 5, BALTIMORE 2: Lyle Overbay hit two of Toronto's four home runs, Vernon Wells connected for a go-ahead shot in the eighth inning and Brett Cecil (5-2) won his third straight start for the host Blue Jays. Cecil matched his career high by working eight innings, allowing two runs and four hits.
MINNESOTA 8, TEXAS 3: The Twins finally got a big hit with the bases loaded to key a six-run seventh inning against the visiting Rangers. Delmon Young hit a two-run double and J.J. Hardy followed with a two-run single for the Twins. Orlando Hudson had a homer, a double and three RBIs.
LOS ANGELES 5, SEATTLE 1 (10 innings): Kendry Morales hit a walk-off grand slam in the 10th inning but was hurt in the celebratory pileup at home plate. He twisted his left ankle and had to be carted off the field and taken to the hospital. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
BOSTON 1, KANSAS CITY 0: Clay Buchholz (7-3) threw seven shutout innings to outduel Zack Greinke. The loss snapped the visiting Royals' three-game winning streak. Mike Lowell drove in Boston's lone run with an RBI grounder.
