Good News for Liriano
Francisco Liriano turned in a fine performance today:
Hoping to break camp with the team 15 months after elbow surgery, Liriano pitched four hitless innings Sunday in Minnesota's 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. The left-hander struck out five and walked two in a scoreless outing.
"The first inning was a little bit like his last start," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The second inning, he started letting it go.
"The ball was moving pretty good. There was a little more progression. The slider had less tilt and more snap to it. He's stretching out fine. He was better out there than the last time. We'll see how he does Friday."
Gardenhire is doing a good job of not getting too excited about this start.
