He is having a seat in lieu of Alex Burnett.

Wait, six shutout innings by Liriano? Say it ain't so! How many Ks?

Nine. .

I think there's a good chance we'll see Butera behind the plate for Liriano's next start.

I hope that you are correct. They seem to have made a good connection today.

Put it in the books...a 3 hit shutout. Yes!!

[mikeee]

nice win and sweep.

Absolutely. I'll take an 0-3 from the 8-hitter if it means 6 shutout innings from the starter.

[Montecore]

I'd say this was astonishing, but you never know with this guy. Good to see, tho'.

As long as Mauer is the DH and not 1B where he has a .569 OPS this year. I'd prefer to not have a negative WAR at 1B and C everytime Liriano pitches.

It was a great win today and nice series sweep. I know the A's are not a good team, we've got to start some where. There were several positives to take from Liriano's outing: good velocity, nice break on his slider, better mechanics for the most part, and not imploding at the first sign of adversity. Let's hope this continues.
