    Young right-hander Samuel Deduno shut down Cleveland's lineup through seven innings on Saturday night.

    It was just the sort of performance Minnesota hadn't been getting from its veterans in the rotation. And shortly after celebrating the second victory of Deduno's budding major league career, the Twins parted ways with one of those starters, sending Francisco Liriano to the Chicago White Sox for two prospects.

    Despite Deduno's career-high six strikeouts and the Twins' impressive 12-5 win over the Cleveland Indians, general manager Terry Ryan knows he has to look toward the future for the club.
