"I couldn't tell you exactly where (he got hit)," Toronto
manager John Gibbons said.
"So he's just going for some further tests. Any time you get a
head injury, you got to get it looked at. So that's about the
extent if it right now."
After the game, Liriano was wheeled into an ambulance on a
stretcher with a brace around his neck.
The 32-year-old from the Dominican Republic was taken to a local
hospital for tests, but later cleared to fly home with the team,
according to the Blue Jays.
Roberto Osuna replaced Liriano and got the final four outs. The
Blue Jays won the game, 5-3 to take a 2-0 ALDS lead on Texas.
