Sizemore had microfracture surgery on the left knee last year and opened the season on the disabled list. Then he injured his right knee in May and had to go back on the disabled list. On this just completed seven-game trip, Sizemore started three games in center field and four at DH.
Scoring change: Pitching coach Tim Belcher was upset when a scoring change from Wednesday's game added two earned runs to Fausto Carmona's pitching line. Miguel Cabrera's bouncer to third in the first inning was originally ruled an error on third baseman Jack Hannahan. It made the next two runs scored in the inning unearned.
After the game, it was changed to a hit for Cabrera, the Tigers cleanup hitter. It was a tough play for Hannahan and could have gone either way.
Stat of the day: One of the reasons the Indians moved Carlos Santana into the No. 2 spot was to take advantage of his ability to walk. Since making the move, Santana has walked once in 21 plate appearances. He has 45 walks overall.
