AP, MINNEAPOLIS

Francisco Liriano struck out a career-high 12 in eight innings and Justin Morneau homered in the Minnesota Twins' 8-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in interleague play on Sunday.

Liriano (9-1) allowed just three hits and won his fifth straight start for the streaking Twins, who have won 10 straight and 20 of their last 22 in their longest winning streak since 1985.

Rookie Zach Jackson (1-1) gave up eight runs -- seven earned -- and walked three in five innings for Milwaukee.

Morneau's solo homer in the fifth -- his 21st of the season -- rattled a suite in right field.
