Astros 9, Pirates 3
W: Wolf (10-11) | L: Ohlendorf (0-1)
The Good Guys continued their late season streak, downing the Pirates in game two of the four game set at MMP.
Randy Wolf started and improved to 4-1 for the Astros. He allowed a couple of runs in the first, but settled down and went seven strong. Lance Berkman, Darren Erstad, and Miguel Tejada each had three hits. One of Berkman’s hits was three-run bomb that just reached the Crawfords to quickly erase the first inning deficit. Geoff Blum had a pair of hits including a triple, and a Hunter Pence drive to the top of the wall caused the first MMP replay. Safe?
A lot of scoreboard watching in the GZ lately. With good reason.
I am leery of typing much more. I think I’ll go mow the lawn or something. I have lights on my riding mower, and a beer holder, and maybe I’ll catch and turn into mulch the bastard armadillo who has chewed up my grass lately. His name is Bernie.
