Twins 2, Mariners 1
SEATTLE — Francisco Liriano outdueled Felix Hernandez and the Twins ended a nine-game losing streak. Their victory came on the day that one of the club's legends, Harmon Killebrew, died at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz. Liriano, who threw a no-hitter May 3 at the White Sox, was stingy. He allowed three singles, walked one and had a season-high nine strikeouts. Matt Capps got the final three outs for his sixth save in eight opportunities. Hernandez allowed three hits and two runs in eight innings.
