MILWAUKEE -- Paul Maholm failed to reach the fifth inning for the second consecutive start and Milwaukee piled up 15 hits in a 10-0 victory against the Pirates tonight at Miller Park.

The Pirates, who have scored in only three of their past 32 innings, had six hits -- all singles.

Adam LaRoche returned to the lineup after not starting Thursday night and went 1 for 3 with a walk.

It was the Pirates' worst shutout loss since an 11-0 thumping by Arizona May 13, 2002.

More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
