MINNEAPOLIS -- No matter what Tyler Duffey did in his second Major League start Saturday, the Twins needed to make a roster move. With Tommy Milone coming back from the 15-day disabled list and getting the start Sunday, it seemed like Duffey might be the one to go.
But Duffey earned himself at least one more start with his performance Saturday, throwing six innings of one-hit ball in a 4-1 win over the Indians. Instead, the team optioned Michael Tonkin back to Triple-A Rochester.
Tonkin was recalled on Friday when Blaine Boyer landed on the DL.
