Ricky Nolasco

The Twins announced on twinsbaseball.com that Tyler Duffey and left handed relief pitcher Ryan O'Rourke have been optioned to Triple-A Rochester. The move means veteran Ricky Nolasco has won the 5th spot in the Twins rotation to begin the season.

After giving up the game-winning run in the ninth to them in Thursday's game, the Twins let another one go to the Angels - losing 7-6 in 10 innings last night.
