KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Keeping a hectic pace because of the birth of his son didn't keep Philadelphia's Jon Lieber from pitching the best game the Kansas City Royals have seen all year.
In fact, it seems to work every time for the veteran right-hander.
He went home in 2000 when his son, Jared, was born, and hurried back just in time to throw a complete-game shutout against San Francisco for the Cubs. On Saturday night, after spending three days in Alabama following Jonah Lieber's birth, he struck out 11 and shut out Kansas City on three hits in Philadelphia's 4-0 victory.
