Game 68: Twins at Pirates

Francisco Liriano vs. Ian Snell at 7:05 PM EST. Liriano, a 22 year old LHP, has been damn good so far this year. In 51.1 IP, he's given up 42 hits and has 16 BBs to 56 Ks for a 1.13 WHIP. Like the Pirates, the Twins like to lose on the road (21-10 at home, 10-24 on the road). Damaso Marte has a history of bad blood with the Twins, immortalized with Batgirl's classic Lego reenactment.

In game 1 of the Aramis-Shelton showdown, the Cubs lost to the Tigers 5-3. This means a win tonight would bring the Bucs into a tie with the Cubs for fifth place.
