DETROIT (AP) -- Francisco Liriano had a season-high nine strikeouts and Michael Cuddyer hit a two-run triple in a five-run seventh, leading the Minnesota Twins to a 7-2 win over the Detroit Tigers on Monday night.

Liriano (1-4) allowed four hits, matching a season low, and two runs over 7 1-3 innings to snap his five-game skid dating to last season.

Liriano's outing was reminiscent of his outstanding rookie year. He was 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA in 2006 before pain in his left elbow ended his season, led to Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for 2007 and limited him to 14 games last year.

Edwin Jackson (1-2) worked six-plus innings for Detroit, setting season highs with five earned runs and seven strikeouts.

Miguel Cabrera homered for the Tigers.
