2011 Game 106: Minnesota Twins at Oakland Athletics

Francisco Liriano vs Gio Gonzalez

The MLB.com short blurb on each pitcher sounds rather similar:

Lasting just 2 1/3 innings on Sunday, Liriano clearly did not have his best stuff against the Tigers and was unable to battle through it. The lefty gave up four runs on six hits and four walks with three strikeouts.

For the second time in three starts, Gonzalez was unable to get through the fifth, leaving after 4 2/3 innings. He gave up six earned runs on seven hits, including a homer, and struck out five. His 2.67 ERA is still seventh-best in the AL.

Here's to extending Gonzalez's struggles for a third time in four starts.
