GREEN BAY, Wis. - Quarterback school is back in session with the Packers. Newly signed veteran Seneca Wallace is going to have to brush up on the playbook in a hurry to get ready to back up Aaron Rodgers for Sundays season opener in San Francisco. Theres a new third quarterback in Titletown, too, after Scott Tolzien was signed to the practice squad Monday. Both quarterbacks just happened to be with the 49ers before getting picked up by the Packers. How convenient. "I think any time players are (from) a former organization, theres always (a thinking that) immediately theyre going to tell you everything about the 49ers," coach Mike McCarthy said. "Scott and Seneca both are more focused on getting ready for the game so they definitely can give you insight." More so Tolzien than Wallace. Tolzien was a backup the last two years for the 49ers, but never played in a game. Wallace was only in San Francisco for a week this preseason, competing for a backup job behind Colin Kaepernick. But its Wallace whos going to be Rodgers understudy. Its quite a turnaround from last week, when he was languishing behind Kaepernick, Colt McCoy and B.J. Daniels on the 49ers depth chart. When asked then, coach Jim Harbaugh said Wallace was "not going to continue to play football," lending to speculation to whether Wallace decided to retire. Not so, Wallace said Monday after his first Packers practice. "No, no. Its just miscommunication between me and Harbaugh. We talked about it. I called him to communicate that to him," Wallace said. "It was just pretty much miscommunication between me and him." After being drafted by the Seahawks in 2003 out of Iowa State, Wallace went on to play seven seasons in Seattle. Hes also had stops with the Browns and Saints. In 21 starts and 62 career games, Wallace has completed 59 per cent of passes (452 of 764) for 4,808 yards and 31 touchdowns, along with 18 interceptions. In a relatively young locker room, Wallace, a 10-year veteran, immediately becomes the most experienced player on offence. Only defensive tackle Ryan Pickett has more NFL experience with 13 seasons. Its that experience that drew McCarthy to his new backup. Wallace had time in a West Coast offence in Seattle under former coach Mike Holmgren, who used to coach the Packers. McCarthy said Wallace ran similar no-huddle schemes in Cleveland. Also, Wallace was drafted in Seattle while current Packers general manager Ted Thompson was the vice-president of football operations there. With Wallace and Tolzien, Green Bay is starting anew in its quest to find a capable backup to Rodgers after already jettisoning three candidates in the last several weeks. Graham Harrell is now with the Jets. Vince Young was cut over the weekend. B.J. Coleman was released after Wallace was signed. Wallaces journeyman background might also help him out. "Hes been a backup quarterback primarily his whole career. He clearly understands the role, has a lot of experience in an out of systems," McCarthy said. "Just talking football with him last night, I felt confident that hell be ready to play Sunday." Wallace was appreciative of the new opportunity. He gave thoughtful responses to questions from reporters, as if a wise sage offering advice to a rookie on life in NFL. While he wouldnt mind starting, Wallace is clearly comfortable with his role. Hes not going to supplant Rodgers, the 2011 NFL Most Valuable Player. "You cant let that get to you. Thats part of it. Were blessed to play a sport that most people dream to do," he said. "The ones who stay around for a long period of time are the ones who get it." So there was Wallace on Monday on the practice field, watching several feet behind Rodgers as the offence ran through drills. Wallace walking alongside Rodgers during a break, where the two looked like they were talking shop. And Rodgers running through a quarterback drop for Wallace on a particularly quick pass play. "It was a tough couple weeks, Wallace said, "but what happened is behind me and now Im moving forward and focusing on being here in Green Bay and being the best provider as a backup to A-Rod." Notes: Tolzien returned to the state where he played college ball at Wisconsin. ... After competing all preseason with Marshall Newhouse, Don Barclay started at right tackle. But Barclay said he doesnt think the competition is settled, and McCarthy indicated Newhouse would play Sunday regardless ... CB Casey Hayward (hamstring) didnt take part in practice. Two starters sidelined last week by sore hamstrings, S Morgan Burnett and LB Brad Jones, returned ... Besides Tolzien, the Packers also signed OL Aaron Adams and Bryan Collins; RB Michael Hill; WRs Charles Johnson and Myles White; CB James Nixon; and TE Jake Stoneburner to their practice squad. The latter four players were with the team during training camp. Nick Castellanos Jersey . Acclaimed by world football leaders but held in contempt by many football fans.

Beckham finished 2 for 4, adding a double in the first inning. Chicago has won eight of 12 to get back to .500 (27-27). The White Sox are 6-3 against Cleveland this season after losing 17 of 19 to their American League Central rival in 2013. Mike Aviles went 1 for 2 with a walk and drove in Clevelands run.PITTSBURGH -- Tony Sanchez thought he was going to get the opportunity to catch a no-hitter in his rookie season with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Thats how well Francisco Liriano was pitching Sunday. "I thought there was a chance," Sanchez said. "His ball was really moving, particularly the slider, was moving all over the place." Liriano took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before faltering in his first no-decision this season, and pinch-hitter Justin Morneau singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth to lead the Pirates over the Chicago Cubs 3-2. Pittsburgh remained tied with St. Louis for the NL Central lead, took three of four from the last-place Cubs and won for the sixth time in seven games. The Cardinals beat Seattle 12-2. Morneau, acquired from Minnesota on Aug. 31, drove in his first run for the Pirates. The 2006 AL MVP is batting .279 (12 for 43) with Pittsburgh. "It was perfect timing for the first RBI, thats for sure," Morneau said. "I wish it would have happened a week-and-a-half ago, but Im glad it happened when it did. Its just nice to contribute." With the score 2-2 in the eighth, Andrew McCutchen was hit by a pitch from Pedro Strop (2-2), took second on Marlon Byrds bloop single to centre and scored on Morneaus single. "Its funny how things turn out in this game," Morneau said. "You hit some balls hard and have nothing to show for it then I get a broken-bat hit that ends being the game-winner." Kyle Farnsworth (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth, and Mark Melancon completed a three-hitter with a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 18 chances. Liriano didnt allow a hit until Junior Lake singled into the hole between third base and shortstop leading off the seventh. Shortstop Jordy Mercer made a diving effort and stopped the ball on the outfield grass, but Lake easily beat the throw. Welington Castillo followed with a tying, two-run homer into the bleachers in left-centre. Castillos seventh homer of the season stopped Lirianos streak of 22 consecutive scoreless innings at PNC Park. "You knew it was going to be tough and thats how you scorre against Liriano -- you get somebody on and pop a home run," Chicago manager Dale Sveum said.dddddddddddd Liriano allowed two runs, three hits and four walks in six-plus innings. At 16-7, he became the first Pirates pitcher with a decision in his first 23 starts since Larry French opened with 24 in a row in 1930, according to STATS. "He was on the edges of the plate and then he was just off of them," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "The pitch count got up higher than he wanted it to be but he got outs and he had a no-hitter through six innings. He battles and he competes." Liriano, who was unavailable for comment after the game, threw 99 pitches through six innings, and Hurdle said it was doubtful he would have made it to the ninth. "Franciscos a pro and he realizes it wouldnt benefit anyone for him to throw 130 pitches on Sept. 15," Hurdle said. Cubs starter Travis Wood gave up two runs, five hits and two walks in six innings. "Obviously, Lirianos very good so they matched each other evenly, pitch-for-pitch," Sveum said. "A couple bloopers there in the last inning cost us the win there." Jose Tabata led off the first inning with a triple and scored on a wild pitch, and Sanchez doubled the lead when he homered in the fourth. NOTES: Pittsburgh LF Starling Marte, who has not had a plate appearance since Aug. 18 because of a bruised right hand, is to take batting practice Monday and could be in the lineup Tuesday against San Diego. ... Cubs RHP Scott Baker is slated to make his final start of the season Friday against Atlanta. Manager Dale Sveum has decided not to tinker with his six-man rotation, even though Baker has allowed only one run, five hits and one walk in 11 innings in his first two starts since returning from elbow ligament surgery. ... The Pirates open a four-game home series Monday night against San Diego, while the Cubs open a four-game series at Milwaukee against the Brewers. Pirates RHP A.J. Burnett will start against RHP Andrew Cashner (9-8, 3.40). Chicago RHP Edwin Jackson (8-15, 4.76) faces RHP Wily Peralta (9-15, 4.49).
