Bottom of the 1st

Now we're talking!

As J.D. Durbin warms on the mound, Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back In Town" rocks through the wind blowing right to left.

Jack Wilson follows suit. The Pirate shortstop homers to deep left field - Phillie outfielder Pat Burrell barely gives chase, the ultimate test when gauging a how far a home run travels - for Pittsburgh's third home run in two games.

Following Wilson's wallop, Freddy Sanchez and Jason Bay lace singles to center. But Ryan Doumit and Steve Pearce ground out, and the Pirates take a 1-0 lead into the second.
