Francisco Liriano used to electrify the Metrodome before his Tommy John surgery at the end of the 2006 season.

The Minnesota Twins faced off against a familiar foe last night, as Francisco Liriano took the mound for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Liriano started his career with the Twins back in 2006 and spent seven seasons with the franchise. He had an incredible start to his career with a 12-3 record and a 2.19 ERA in 2006, then he was placed on the disabled list late in the year and eventually had Tommy John surgery that forced him to miss the entire 2007 season.
