Liriano gave up three hits and struck out nine over six innings for his first win of the season. Liriano had been sent to the bullpen after starting the season 0-and-5 with an ERA over nine. Josh Willingham went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI for Minnesota, which swept the three-game series. Brian Dozier also singled in a run for the Twins.
The Twins are off today. They will begin a three-game road series with the Indians tomorrow.

When the Twins begin a three-game series in Cleveland tomorrow night, they won't have to face one of the Tribe's top sluggers. Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner was placed on 15-day disabled list and will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Thursday. Hafner is expected to miss four to six weeks. Left-handed reliever Scott Barnes was called up from Triple-A Columbus to fill out the roster.
