CLEVELAND — Not a whole lot more you can say about Tuesday’s 1-0 loss. For the Twins, at least it was a good night for Class AAA Rochester.

Francisco Liriano held Durham to one run on six hits over six innings with one walk and seven strikeouts. He is 2-2 with a 3.94 ERA now, and the rising strikeout total is a good sign.

Brian Buscher also hit a three-run homer in that 14-2 victory. He’s apparently the leading candidate for a promotion when the Twins trim back to 12 pitchers for the Milwaukee series.

The question was whether Buscher’s knee was healthy enough to play the field, and he handled third base without an error in this game.

In Jim Mandelaro’s game story, there is also word that Philip Humber will miss tonight’s start because of a sore elbow.
