Twins update 8-18 Francisco Liriano said that his shoulder is starting to feel stronger. The pitcher is expected to have his medical examination on Sunday, and Liriano's next step in his rehab will be determined by the results of the exam.

The Twins have drawn crowds of 40,000-plus seven times this season. It's the most crowds of that number since 1992, when they had 17. It sounds like after this weekend the Twins will be at 10.

Scott Baker threw 6 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just four hits, as Triple-A Rochester beat Syracuse, 5-0, on Wednesday.

Not much to say here. Huge series this weekend.
Garcia vs Boof tonight.
Garland vs Bradke on Saturday.
Vazquez vs Johan on Sunday.


Make sure you go to Acme tonight after the game and laugh at JJ doing his stand up.  ¶ 11:00 AM
