PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) — Tampa Bay catcher Dioner Navarro injured his left leg in a hard collision during the Rays’ 6-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
Navarro was taken away in an ambulance after a collision at home plate with Minnesota’s Jacque Jones in the fourth inning. He was taken to a local clinic for X-rays on his leg.
David Price gave up six straight hits during the Twins’ four-run fourth inning. Jones started the inning with a one-out double. When Brendan Harris followed with a single, Jones tried to score and was thrown out by center fielder Justin Ruggiano.
After an eight-minute delay due to Navarro’s injury, the Twins collected four more hits off Price, who gave up 11 hits in four innings.
