Francisco Liriano improves to 2-0 with win over Brewers
Francisco Liriano moved to 2-0 after the Pirates defeated the Brewers on Thursday. Liriano allowed one run in 5 2/3 innings of work.
In two starts Liriano has recorded 16 strike outs.
The Pirates went on to defeat the Brewers 7-1.
Liriano got a late start on the season after fracturing his non-throwing arm over the winter.

Francisco Liriano Could Be a Difference Maker For the Pirates
Francisco Liriano could be a difference maker for the Pirates.
Francisco Liriano will be making his Pittsburgh Pirates debut today, going up against the New York Mets. The Pirates agreed to sign Liriano over the off-season to a two-year, $12.75 M deal.
