MADRID, Spain -- Lionel Messi could be done for the season after he was ruled out for up to three weeks because of his nagging hamstring injury, meaning hes set to fall short of breaking his own Spanish league scoring record. Barcelona said Tuesday that the four-time FIFA player of the year has re-aggravated the right hamstring strain that has limited him for the last six weeks and only a quicker-than-expected return to fitness would see him play again for the Spanish team this season. Barcelona said Messi will be sidelined for two to three weeks, with the teams last -- and meaningless -- league game against Malaga scheduled for June 1. Barcelona has already clinched the league title with three games left, but Messi is four goals short of matching his own record of 50 goals that he set last year. But with 46 league goals, eight in the Champions League and four in the Copa del Rey, his grip on the European Golden Shoe award is likely to remain unchallenged. The other two matches which Messi is set to miss are against Valladolid and the Catalan derby against Espanyol. Messi first injured his hamstring on April 2 in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain, and re-aggravated the injury in Sundays 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid. The win over Atletico was only the fifth league game this season in which Messi played but failed to score -- having netted in 21 consecutive previous appearances. Messi, who was making his first league start since the injury, left the pitch in the 68th minute after Barcelona had made all three substitutions and was trailing 1-0. The team rallied without him. Barcelona has no other trophies left to play for, as it lost in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey and Champions League.

Merritt, who had made three relief appearances this season and was promoted Sept. 11 from Triple-A Columbus, threw 62 pitches, striking out four and walking none.Id be lying if I said I wasnt nervous, Merritt said. I was definitely nervous.After three of the first four Royals singled, Merritt got Paulo Orlando to ground into an inning double play on a cutter, which he said absolutely was his biggest pitch of the game.That got me through the first inning, Merritt said.After that the Royals did not touch him.He doesnt seem to get flustered, Indians manager Terry Francona said. That was impressive. I was really thrilled. I think everybody was excited for him. The first couple of hitters hit the ball hard, but he didnt back off.Lindor, who snapped an 0-for-29 drought with a double in a four-run third, homered off the left-field foul pole with pinch runner Michael Martinez and Carlos Santana aboard in the seventh.To be honest, I thought about it a lot, Lindor said of his skid. There were a lot of times, I was going, `like wow, I wonder how long before I get a hit? Santana, who had three hits, tripled in two runs in the fourth and scored on Jason Kipnis sacrifice fly. Jose Ramirez singled with two outs to score Lindor.Yordano Ventura (11-12) gave up four runs and six hits with three walks while striking out eight in six innings.I lost concentration and just started throwing fasttballs, Ventura said in through an interpreter in the four-run third.dddddddddddd.

The Royals, who had three singles in the first, did not have another base runner until Hunter Dozier singled with one out in the eighth.
