ARLINGTON, Texas -- Toronto left-hander Francisco Liriano was hospitalized as a precaution after taking a line drive near the back of his head in the Blue Jays 5-3 win over Texas on Friday in Game 2 of the AL Division Series.Liriano turned away from the hit by Carlos Gomez with one out in the eighth inning, and the ball ricocheted into right center off the back of his neck near his head. The hit was measured at 102 mph, and Gomez winced as he headed to first on the run-scoring single.The 32-year-old stayed on his feet and walked around the infield briefly before his teammates, a trainer and manager John Gibbons came out to check on him. Liriano was replaced by closer Robert Osuna, who pitched for the first time since leaving the AL wild-card game three days earlier with shoulder discomfort.Liriano stayed in the dugout briefly before going to the Toronto clubhouse. Gibbons said he wasnt sure precisely where the ball struck Liriano.Hes just going for further tests, Gibbons said. Anytime you get a head injury, you got to get it looked at. So thats about the extent of it right now.Gomez also wasnt sure where the ball hit Liriano.Its tough to see that, but its part of the game, Gomez said. Just wait for the good news that hes OK.Liriano was the winning pitcher in the wild-card game against Baltimore, throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings before Edwin Encarnacions game-ending three-run homer in the 11th. He allowed two hits and two runs in 1/3 innings Friday.Colorado Rockies Store .

I put the team in some very poor positions, and I know that ... I will make better decisions. I promise you guys that Im going to clean these interceptions up because that football team is working too hard, and they deserve better.Both of his interceptions on Sunday came on passes intended for DeAndre Hopkins on a day when the Titans limited the Pro Bowl receiver to just one reception for 4 yards.Coach Bill OBrien didnt fault Osweiler for trying to get the ball to Hopkins, and said hell look to design better plays to help Osweiler avoid turnovers.I think the guys playing well, OBrien said. I really enjoy coaching this guy. Hes very bright. He works very hard ... I thought overall, with the exception of the turnovers, I thought the guy played a good football game.Osweiler threw touchdown passes on Houstons first two drives on Sunday to give the Texans an early 14-0 lead before the offense stalled. Hes looking for ways to sustain the success the team showed early as they prepare to visit Minnesota next week.Some things we learned from Houstons win over the Titans on Sunday.MARIOTAS MISTAKES: Like Osweiler, Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota has more interceptions (five) than touchdowns (four) this season after throwing one interception on Sunday. The interception came when it looked as if he threw the ball directly to Houstons Quintin Demps in the second quarter.It was just a miscommunication on my part, Mariota said. Delanie (Walker) did a great job of just sitting in the hole. Just a bad throw. I should have just put it on him a little more.MCKINNEYS CONTRIBUTION: Houston linebacker Benardrick McKinney had nine tackles to lead the Texans for the second straight week aftter piling up a career-high 16 stops last week.dddddddddddd McKinney, who had 63 tackles as a rookie last season, already has 38 tackles and two sacks this season.WALKER AND WRIGHT RETURN: Walker returned on Sunday after sitting out last week with a right hamstring injury. Walker, who had a career-high 94 catches for 1,088 yards last season, had two receptions for 34 yards on Sunday. The Titans also had receiver Kendall Wright back on Sunday after he missed the first three games with a hamstring injury. Wright finished with two receptions for 14 yards.Mariota was glad to have Wright back.Hes a playmaker for us, Mariota said. The more I give him the ball, the better he gets.FULLERS BIG START: Through four games Fuller , who was the 21st overall pick in the draft, has 19 receptions for 323 yards and two touchdowns to lead all rookies. His punt return was Houstons first for a touchdown since 2013 and he became the first player in franchise history to have a TD reception and a punt return for a score in the same game. Fullers 5-yard touchdown reception made it 14-0 in the first.I know theres a lot of room from improvement from me, he said. So Im just going to continue to try to get better and just keep working.WORKING WITHOUT WATT: Sunday was the first time Houston had played without J.J. Watt since the 2010 season after the star defensive end, who is out for the season after back surgery, had started 83 straight games since being drafted in 2011. Several players, including 2014 top overall pick Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus , had solid games on Sunday to lead Houstons defense in his absence. Owner Bob McNair is certainly disappointed to be without last seasons Defensive Player of the Year, but hopes that having so much time to recover will help him in the long run.The good news is maybe he extended his career an extra year or two, McNair said. We will keep up with him and help him in every way we can. We miss him, but others will step up. I think it will give them an opportunity to play. Im looking forward to it.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
