Twins send struggling Liriano to minors

The Minnesota Twins sent struggling pitcher Francisco Liriano to Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Liriano missed the entire 2007 season after undergoing "Tommy John" surgery and is 0-3 with an 11.32 earned run average in three starts this season.

In 2006 before the injury, Liriano was one of the best pitchers in baseball, posting a record of 12-3 with a 2.16 earned run average. His move into the starting rotation that season helped the Twins turn their season around and capture the AL Central title.
