TRIBE NOTES
From Comerica Park
Closing change: Before the game, Indians manager Eric Wedge said he has changed closers -- again. It's the fourth time this season. David Riske gets a second shot at the job, replacing Jose Jimenez (1-7, 9.46 ERA). The Indians are close to getting back reliever Bob Wickman, who they'd hoped would be their closer, but has been recovering from elbow surgery. He is expected to rejoin the team after the All-Star break.
Milestone: Tigers catcher Pudge Rodriguez's third-inning double was the 400th of his career.
Another change: Jody Gerut replaced Coco Crisp in the Cleveland lineup, while coach Buddy Bell, a former Tigers manager, replaced Wedge after his sixth-inning ejection.
