Scratched: Texas utilityman Herbert Perry was scratched before the game with a sore right calf, and may have to go on the disabled list. "We may bring someone in tomorrow," Showalter said. Among the candidates to come up is INF Manny Alexander.
Club record: Alfonso Soriano's homer tied Julio Franco's club record (1991) for the most by a second baseman. Texas has had a player hit 30 homers at every position except second.
First pitch: Hall of Famer Bob Feller may not have his old fastball, but his command is still there. The 85-year-old threw out the ceremonial first pitch, lobbing a perfect strike to shortstop Omar Vizquel, who didn't have to move his glove to catch it.
Halfway point: The Indians are 39-42 at the official halfway point. They were 34-47 a year ago.
Career runs: Vizquel scored twice, moving him into sixth place on the club's career runs list, ahead of Hall of Famer Nap Lajoie (865).
