Milone was on the Twins Opening Day roster and was 2-1 with a 4.76 ERA in four starts. Nolasco was 5-1 with a 5.56 ERA in seven starts.
After his demotion to AAA Rochester, Milone went 4-0 with a 0.70 ERA, with 47 strikeouts and just three walks in 38.2 innings.
From its trio of stars finally healthy to a bullpen among the best in the league, the Twins roster is good enough to win a division title.
