The lefthander on the comeback trail was the show at the Metrodome on Friday. For Twins fans, it was the wrong lefty.
While Francisco Liriano took baby steps toward being the pitcher he was before elbow ligament replacement surgery in 2006, Cleveland's Cliff Lee looked like a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year, chewing up Twins hitters in the Indians' 4-0 victory.
Lee faced one batter over the minimum during an eight-inning stint, giving up two hits and striking out eight. He threw 109 pitches, 74 for strikes, dominating a Twins offense that is averaging only 3.9 runs per game.
