Rookie Liriano replaces Conteras on AL All-Star roster

Sweet!

Rookie sensation Francisco Liriano is headed to the All-Star Game after all.


Liriano was certainly deserving of the honor. He is 10-1 with a 1.83 ERA, allowing just 63 hits in 88 1/3 innings with 102 strikeouts.

Liriano joins two other Twins -- fellow left-hander Johan Santana and catcher Joe Mauer -- on the AL All-Star team.

Contreras is 9-0 with a 3.38 ERA but started Sunday's game against Boston and would not have been available to pitch on Tuesday.
