Royals' Jonathan India has big performance one day after a pitch hit him in the face He requested – demanded, really – to get in the Royals’ starting lineup the next day. That’s who I am.” India’s response amazed his teammates, who saw how frightening a scene it was Sunday when a pitch from Cleveland’s Emmanuel Clase hit India’s batting helmet on the left side of his face during the ninth inning of the Royals’ 6-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. “I’ve been hit in the head before,” India said. “I don’t think he’s that type of guy.” India left no doubt that he wanted to play Monday, so Royals manager Matt Quatraro had him leading off and playing third base.
