Nice job Frankie. Big kudos to Danny, Justin and Matt in the last couple innings - some quality defense there.

Didn't know Target Field looks like US Cellular. But congrats Liriano

So awesome! Finally, something to cheer for! By the way, the game was at US Cellular, not Target Field. Might want to change the first line of the story :)

Didn't get a chance to watch the game, but surprised Gardy didn't pull the old 100 pitch count thing and bring in a reliever to lose the game for the Twins. Maybe now he can throw that stupid number out the window.

The only thing missing in this game is Ken "Hawk" Harrelson is not announcing this game for the Sox due to sickness. You CAN'T put it on the boarrrrrrrd .. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Go Frankie. Keep pitching like this all year! As another player on the hot seat, Valencia played great tonight as well.
