Albers saves bullpen with long relief outing

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins have already had to place two relievers on the disabled list in the last two days, and they might not yet be in the clear.

Left-hander Tommy Milone, making a spot start, exited after the third inning of Minnesota's 10-2 loss to Houston on Thursday night with tightness in his throwing shoulder. Manager Paul Molitor hopes to have an update on Milone's condition on Friday after Milone undergoes an MRI.

"Tommy came off in the third inning and said his shoulder was starting to tighten up, which forced us to get [reliever Andrew Albers] in there a little earlier than I had hoped," Molitor said.
