Graves throws four scoreless innings for Rochester

Last update: May 13, 2008 - 7:46 AM

Danny Graves, who had 41 saves for the Reds in 2004 and 30 or more in three other seasons, shut out Buffalo on two singles and no walks over four innings on Monday. Graves, 34, retired the first nine batters that he faced when Rochester used him as its starting pitcher in the 5-1 victory.

The Red Wings used him as the starter in the game.

With the season-ending injury to Pat Neshek, the Twins could be looking for set-up help and several of the younger pitchers in Rochester are struggling.

In 11 major league seasons, Graves has 192 saves and a 4.05 ERA. He hasn't pitched in the majors since 2006. He signed wioth the Twins toward the end of spring training.
