Metrodome Memories

Francisco Liriano was limited to 40 pitches over three innings yesterday.  His rehab start was cut short because of a rain delay, but he was very sharp in those three innings.  He walked one and struck out four without giving up a hit and it looks like Liriano could make one more rehab start before joining the Twins.  This is huge news since it will give the Twins one more great arm to rely on in the final weeks of the season.

The Twins Triple A affiliate, the Rochester Red Wings, moved on to play last year’s International League champs, the Toledo Mudhens, in the finals this year.  You can pretty much bank on a win if Liriano gets that final rehab start.  The series kicked off tomorrow in Rochester.

UPDATE

I misread this pretty badly.  Not only is Francisco Liriano now off the DL, but he’s throwing today.  This is huge.
