    Over the weekend, the Twins managed to take two of three from the Royals and now sit just one-half game back of Kansas City for fourth place in the AL Central. The Twins look to continue building on that momentum in what might be Francisco Liriano's last start in a Twins uniform. Tonight, he goes against right-hander Gavin Floyd in US Cellular Field.

    Liriano has been a monster for the Twins over the past two months, posting a 2.84 ERA while striking out well over 10 batters per nine innings. The Twins haven't seen this kind of performance from the lefty since he dominated hitters early in his 2010 campaign.

    Losing Francisco will certainly hurt the team in the short-term but in the long-term, it could drastically improve their chances at contending. It's all in Ryan's court at this point; all we can do is sit and wait it out. Join the discussion below and let us know what you expect from Francisco and the Twins tonight against the hated White Sox!

      My guess is they'll do it twice in some other inning, to make up for it. I know, I know, there are only three outs an innings, but never underestimate the ability of the Twins to find a way to do it.

      I was just about to ask what the single-game record is. Four more is definitely doable.

      I'll lay 2-1 a Twins hitter gets HBP in the next 2 innings.

      No chance for a double play this inning. Bummer.

      So much for making history, they may as well go ahead and win now.

      A 4-pitch walk to Butera. How in the world does that happen?

      Just thought I'd join this thread to say what a bang up job Frankie has done tonight.

      Any father/son combos near by who look like they may jump onto the field? Counting on you to diffuse any potential situation.
