Manager Ron Gardenhire said the reports he saw indicated that Class AAA Rochester lefthander Francisco Liriano pitched very well on Tuesday as he shut out Toledo for seven innings on two hits with two walks and 10 strikeouts.

Gardenhire said Liriano's fastball ranged from 87 to 93 miles an hour on the radar gun and he got a lot of swings and misses on his slider and his changeup.

But there's still no indication that the Twins are ready to promote Liriano, who is 5-0 with a 0.26 ERA in his past five starts. And the Twins don't appear to like the idea of using him out of the bullpen.
