Liriano embraces opportunity to start for Tigers
(MLB.com Detroit Tigers)

Francisco Liriano spent the first half of his career tormenting the Tigers, one of the bright, young hopes on the Twins. That changed over the last five years, as the innings piled up, Liriano bounced around and surgeries sapped some of the strength from his left arm. Still, the sight of Liriano wearing the Olde English D on Saturday morning -- having signed a one-year contract to bolster Detroit`s rebuilt pitching staff -- was an odd sight.
