"As far as the pitching goes, Rick will probably figure out changes we might need to make, so that will take some of the pressure off Lance," Parrish said, referring to pitching coach Rick Adair. Larry Parrish can be with the team in uniform before the games, but must leave the stadium when the games start. notebook: The hot rumor in the clubhouse after Wednesday's game was a proposed 10-player deal involving the Tigers and an unidentified National League team that supposedly fell through. Left-hander Sean Runyan, on rehabilitation at Triple-A Toledo, had his sore pitching shoulder examined by Dr.

James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. Tigers head groundskeeper Heather Nabozny is scheduled to be featured on NBC's "Today" show (Channel 4 in Detroit) on Friday; the show begins at 7 a.m. Tony Clark got his first intentional walk of the season in the eighth. Right-hander Masao Kida is day-to-day with a lower back strain. Left-hander C.

J. Nitkowski took the major league lead in games pitched with 41 when he faced the Yankees. Next Wednesday's game against the Yankees at Tiger Stadium has been changed from 7:05 p.m. to 7:35 to accommodate television. Clark's homer was the Tigers' 32nd in their past 20 games.

Damion Easley broke an 0-for-17 slump with a second-inning single. Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has reached base in 73 of his 74 games. For the same altercation, Budig cut a game off catcher Brad Ausmus' two-game suspension after Ausmus also appealed Tuesday. The reduction likely was because it was Ausmus' first offense. The timing was perfect for Ausmus, who wasn't in Wednesday's lineup anyway.

"My family is here to watch the game so I'll just sit in the stands with them," Ausmus said after learning of the suspension. "It'll give me a chance to see my sister's baby boy." After the Tigers' 8-2 win Wednesday, Parrish kiddingly told Ausmus: "We found out what's been dragging us down this season you." Parrish said he will serve his two days in Minnesota this weekend. "I asked if I could continue to manage here in New York and then take my two days on Friday and Saturday, and the league said it would be fine," Parrish said. Why didn't Parrish get a reduced sentence? Probably because he made contact with the ump. Even though the umpiring crew at Fenway Park indicated that they reported the contact as incidental, AL senior vice president Phyllis Merhige said the contact remained an issue, incidental or otherwise.

Parrish said third base coach Lance Parrish will take over for the games he misses against the Twins. Lance Parrish managed in the Los Angeles Dodgers' system before rejoining the Tigers this season. Larry Parrish said the toughest assignment for the fill-in manager would be determining late-inning SECOND MNMQ tl one out.

The 15 errors are the most by Knoblauch since he had 18 in his -rookie season with the Twins in' 1991. While easy throws are giving him problems, he's making difficult plays. He saved a run in the second with an inning-ending throw on a hard grounder by Bobby Higginson that caromed off pitcher Andy Pettitte. "I don't have nothing to say, guys," Knoblauch told reporters. Knoblauch is drawing comparisons to Steve Sax, the second baseman who made 30 errors in 1983, 21 in '84 and 22 in '85 for the Dodgers, and 20 in '92 with the White Sox.

Knoblauch, 3-for-4 Wednesday, is hitting .267 with four homers and 24 RBIs. He is a four-time All-Star. Boston: Third baseman John Valentin was placed on the 1 5-day disabled list; he was hit In the head by a pitch Friday by John Snyder of the White Sox and suffered a small bruise on the front of his brain. Third baseman Wilton Veras was called up from Double-A Trenton. Texas: Pitching coach Dick Bosnian, 55, will miss at least a month after suffering a broken hip while inline skating Monday in Anaheim.

More transactions on Page 8G. NEW YORK With each error, the questions about Yankees second baseman Chuck Knoblauch multiply. What's wrong with his arm? What can be done? "We'll get it straightened out," manager Joe Torre said Wednesday after Knoblauch made his 15th error in an 8-2 loss to the Tigers. Knoblauch, a Gold Glove winner for Minnesota in 1997, tied White Sox shortstop Mike Caruso for the second-most errors in the American League, two behind Sox third baseman Greg Norton. Third basemen Ed Sprague of Pittsburgh and Adrian Beltre of Los Angeles lead the National League with 16 each.

With the Tigers ahead, 3-1, in the fifth and one out, Tony Clark grounded to shortstop Derek Jeter, who tossed to Knoblauch. His relay to first was wide as a run scored. Knoblauch was charged with an error.

Seefse RER BB SO Hot 9 11115 Panlegue (W 5-4) 2 10 0(1 1,0) 11 four walks and hitting a batter, Moehler allowed only two runs and one was unearned, the result of a first-inning error by centerfielder Gabe Kapler. "Mo bent, but he didn't break," Parrish said. "He kept finagling and found a way to get it done." Moehler's finest moment came in the fourth inning with the Tigers clinging to a 2-1 lead. Two hits and a walk loaded the bases for Derek Jeter, who entered the game hitting .377 with 55 RBIs. But Moehler kept Jeter off-balance and retired the shortstop on an inning-ending bouncer to Clark at first base.

Moehler had thrown 107 pitches through five innings. He told Parrish there wasn't much left in the tank. "But we were short in the bullpen, so I asked Brian to go as far as he could," Parrish said. Willie Blair isn't here for the series because of the death of his brother in Detroit, and Masao Kida has a sore back. Moehler faced two batters in the sixth, giving up two singles, and Parrish went to the bullpen.

The Tigers got four shutout innings from Nelson Cruz, C. J. Nitkowski, Doug Brocail and Todd Jones. "It sure wasn't pretty, but the way we've been going, we'll take it," Higginson said. GENE GUIDI can be reached at SLUGGING PCT.

Clark didn't see the ball land. "I don't worry about distance," Clark said.

"The guys on the bench told me where it hit when I got back to the dugout." Clark drove in three runs, and that was more important to him than the distance of his homer. "The biggest stat to me is RBIs, not home runs," Clark said, "and I had missed out on some big opportunities the last couple of games." The Tigers haven't pinned a worse loss on New York at Yankee Stadium since a 10-3 victory Oct. 3, 1990 the night Cecil Fielder hit his 50th and 51st homers. "This was ugly today," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "I'm glad we haven't seen many of these and I hope it's awhile before we see another one." Brian Moehler survived long enough for the victory despite not having his best stuff.

"I just tried to keep the ball down and hoped they hit it at someone," said Moehler, who threw 111 pitches in five-plus innings. The Yankees had more traffic on the bases against Moehler (7-8) than midtown Manhattan at rush hour. "We were lucky to win," outfielder Bobby Higginson said. "They had runners on in every inning."
