A member of the Twins rotation at the start of the year, Lohse made eight starts before being demoted to Triple-A Rochester on May 17 after going 2-4 with an 8.92 ERA.Twins general manager Terry Ryan had been shopping Lohse to other clubs since the demotion. Lohse rejoined the club as a reliever in early June but problems between him and the organization made him a clear trade target as the trade deadline approached.Ward, 22, went 7-0 with a 2.29 ERA and 95 strikeouts in 20 appearances -- 18 starts -- this season with the Class A Dayton Dragons of the Midwest League. Ward was the Reds' third-round selection in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft.The trade was also the second this season between Ryan and Reds general manager Wayne Krivsky, a former assistant GM for the Twins.The Twins are expected to use the open roster spot for Torii Hunter's return from the 15-day disabled list prior to their game against the Rangers on Monday night.</div>http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...t=.jsp&c_id=minYES!
