MILWAUKEE -- It was a long time, and a lot of hard work, between scoreless outings for Radhames Liz.
There are not many good things about a pasting such as the one absorbed Tuesday night by the Pirates, 7-4 at the Brewers' hands. But a definite positive in this one was the immediate opportunity it gave Liz to showcase what he has worked on for three months with Triple-A Indianapolis.
A team in a pennant race normally isn't prone to quickly deploy fresh callups. The one-sided game -- three late homers made the final tighter -- freed manager Clint Hurdle to enlist four of the six players added hours earlier.
