Francisco Liriano’s recent run of dominance includes a win over Cleveland. Beating the Indians has been a regular occurrence for the Minnesota pitcher this season. Riding a 21-inning scoreless streak, the Twins left-hander tries for a fifth straight victory overall and fourth this season over the Indians on Friday night at Progressive Field. Liriano is in the midst of his second four-game winning streak of the year. He went 23 innings without allowing a run over three starts in April and can surpass that total with another strong effort Friday. He’s allowed two runs and struck out 33 in 28 2-3 innings while winning his last four outings. Liriano has not won five consecutive starts since winning six straight from June 11-July 8, 2006. He gave up two hits and matched a season high with 11 strikeouts over seven innings of a 4-0 win over Seattle on Sunday.

Liriano has been tough on the Indians, winning all three matchups this season while posting a 1.23 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 22 innings. He allowed six hits and struck out eight in seven innings of a 6-0 win July 21. Liriano is 2-1 in four starts at Progressive Field despite a 5.49 ERA. Minnesota, which won two of three in its only series at Cleveland, tries for a third straight victory after taking the final two of a four-game set at Tampa Bay. After blowing a six-run lead, the Twins got a go-ahead single when Jason Kubel’s popup hit a catwalk at Tropicana Field and fell in fair territory during a two-run ninth inning in Thursday’s 8-6 victory. Joe Mauer and Delmon Young each had RBI doubles as Minnesota won for the 10th time in 12 games to remain 1 1/2 games behind first-place Chicago in the AL Central.
