Photosynth of Detroit Tigers, Comerica Park!

Francisco Liriano pitched eighth scoreless innings, leading the Minnesota Twins to a 2-0 win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night.

Liriano struck out 10, and gave up the first of four hits not until the fifth. He walked only one.
Minnesota played the Tigers for the first time since beating them in the 163rd game last year.
The Twins probably will be tough to beat again this season, winning the first six series of a season for the first time in franchise history.

It was kind of chilly in Detroit. The game drew just 22,008 as temperatures dipped into the low 40s at COMERICA PARK

Oklahoma City 15 years since Federal bombing.



Oklahoma City National Memorial, Sketch Up.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano spoke Monday, April 19, 2010, at the Oklahoma City National Memorial during the memorial ceremony for the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, in Oklahoma City.

The ceremony followed a time-honored script. Shortly before 9:02 a.m. — when the bombing occurred — bells tolled in downtown Oklahoma City. Some family members visited the site of the federal building razed in the attack and left ribbons, wreaths and other objects on chairs that stand on the site to honor the dead.
