Twins' Edouard Julien: Getting start against southpaw

Julien will start at second base and bat ninth in Friday's game in Detroit.

It's the first time in three games against lefties this season that Julien has been in the Twins' lineup. The 24-year-old is coming off a three-hit game Wednesday, which included a pair of solo home runs. Kyle Farmer will be at third base and Willi Castro will begin this one on the bench.
