Milone gave up no runs and one hit over four innings to lower his spring ERA to 2.00 in Monday's spring training win over the Reds.
Milone may be leading the competition with Trevor May and Ricky Nolasco for the fifth starter role at this point. May has struggled and the Twins are predisposed to keep him in the bullpen while Nolasco has given up six runs in 7.1 innings.
