MLB.com: Liriano uneven in return to Majors

Francisco Liriano’s return to the Major Leagues wasn’t exactly reminiscent of the pitcher who dominated the league in 2006 as a rookie.

The left-hander looked much more human in his first start back following a 19-month layoff due to Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery, giving up four runs over 4 2/3 innings in a 5-1 loss to the Royals on Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.

Liriano was effective at times in his start, but the Royals were able to scatter six hits and drew a total of five walks. He threw a total of 90 pitches in the outing, 51 for strikes.

The Twins managed just three hits off Bannister, who went the distance.

I realize this is an early, not final version, of the game story for the Twins site, but “oh, by the way, Brian Bannister threw a three-hitter” being buried as the last line of the article gave me a chuckle.
