No more Bush-Rivera pairing?
With Mike Cameron serving his one-game suspension today, Jody Gerut gets the start in center field. The only other notable change is that Jason Kendall, not Mike Rivera, is serving as the catcher. Usually, Mike Rivera (who began his career with the Tigers) handles Bush.
That's an interesting switch considering Bush's recent struggles. Maybe manager Ken Macha or pitching coach Bill Castro think Bush needed a different approach. Maybe Bush requested the switch. Macha will meet with reporters at the start of batting practice, and we'll see what he has to say.
In the meantime, here is the lineup for what appears to be a beautiful day in Detroit:
Craig Counsell 2B
Casey McGehee DH
Ryan Braun LF
Prince Fielder 1B
Corey Hart RF
Mat Gamel 3B
J.J. Hardy SS
Jody Gerut RF
Jason Kendall C
RHP Dave Bush
