Liriano returns to the starting rotation. Going for the sweep.

[mikeee]

Double by span Walk by mauer Single by the hammer to score the first run.

[mikeee]

Dozier singles in another run.

[jokin]

Must be LEN3's lineup card....... (with 2 catchers starting for the Twins).

[Shane Wahl]

Liriano is under control today

Yeah, that's where I got it.
oops.

Seemed like that's the one the folks who normally start these threads use.

[mikeee]

There. Mauer must be the DH then.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

That looked like vintage Liriano in the second inning. Hopefully he can keep it up.

[mikeee]

1 base hit for coco crisp, and 3 strikeouts for Liriano in the second inning. 4 total strikeouts after 2.

[Top Gun]

Liriano K the side as Twins roll on!

[striker_86]

Need some more runs, you never know when Liriano might meltdown...

I'm wondering how short the leash will be and who's likely to releive him in the 4th or 5th inning if needed.

[mikeee]

He is throwing balls now.

Yeah, I dont know. If he makes it through 4 with 2 runs or less, we should pull him.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Huge double play. Liriano badly needed that.

[adjacent]

Oh, boy, here we go.

[mikeee]

A strikeout ends the inning. 5 total now.

[adjacent]

I am glad I spoke too soon.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Nice atbat by Revere. Let's see if he can wreak havoc on the basepaths now.

[SweetOne69]

I believe Swarzak is scheduled to replace Liriano, of course that could change depending on how deep Liriano goes, but considering he is at 55 pitches after 3 innings he will be out in the 5th inning.

[J-Dog Dungan]

Good job Revere! Used the speed to single then steal 2nd Base! they had better watch out for him.

[J-Dog Dungan]

ross is getting into trouble; Revere on 2, Mauer on 1 with a walk

[striker_86]

Cmon Hammer, make it 5-0

[J-Dog Dungan]

And Willingham strikes out and Revere caught stealing 3rd.....2 down

[J-Dog Dungan]

And Ross gets out of the inning; Only the Twins

[J-Dog Dungan]

And Liriano goes 1,2,3 in the 4th; he seems to be doing well :|

[IdahoPilgrim]

Not the best I've seen Frankie pitch, but so far it is his best start of the year. Hopefully a trend is developing...

Letting him start against such a poor batting team was a good idea. Maybe this will help him get back on track.

[mikeee]

6 strikeouts for frankie.
