Done with three

Hey now, this one got eventful in a hurry.
Yordany Ramirez doubled in a run and then came around to score when left-fielder Nyjor Morgan bumbled a single off the bat of Hunter Pence.
The Pirates sliced the deficit thanks to Freddy Sancez, who launched a home run that parked itself on the roof of the Girls & Boys Club in left field. The ball is still out there, gleaming like a seashell on a sandy shoreline.

(Wax on, John, wax on...)

So it's 2-1 Astros.

I'm hunkering for a pretzel, though I haven't had good ballpark pretzel since leaving New York. They pretzels outside Yankee Stadium were scrumptous. They were the size of home plate, and were warmed on a charcoal grill. They smelled almost as good as they tasted. And unlike the preztels in these parts, they weren't caked in salt. They didn't need to be - the pretzel itself was so packed with flavor, no additions were needed.

Oh, to be young again...

2-1 Astros in the top of the fourth.
