03/16/2010
(Jupiter, FL) -- Francisco Liriano struck out six batters in three innings of work yesterday, but the Twins lefthander also gave up three runs on four hits in the 5-4 Grapefruit League loss to the Marlins in Jupiter, Florida. The lefthander retired the side in order in the first but struggled in his other two innings of work, giving up a two-run homer to Mike Stanton in his final inning of work. The Twins got two hits from Denard Span and a three-run home run from Jason Kubel. Today the Twins host the Orioles in Fort Myers. Catcher Joe Mauer is expected to play after missing four games with a sore shoulder that was hit by a foul tip.
