Are We at Wrigley?

 If I didn't see all the PNC Park signs, I would have thought the Pirates were at Wrigley and the wind was blowing out yesterday, but only for the Pirates.  The Pirates had one of those nights where the offense was on fire.  It took a few innings before the magic started, but there was so many fireworks yesterday that they ran out of fireworks.  They literally ran out of fireworks because the Buccos had 7, count em, 7 home runs.  

Bryan Reynolds had 2, including a grand salami.  Rowdy Tellez had 2, including a grand salami. Jack Jack hopefully is getting his swing groove on, and he got one.  Yasmani Grandal figured into the mix with one.  The light hitting Michael Taylor went 4-4 and had a homer.  Yep, that is 7.   

The other part of the story is the pitcher, though.  Usually, the starter of the night is the story.  Well, and he still was as big a part of the story as the 7 Home Runs and offensive explosion, but Paul Skenes was his usual self and struck out 8 over 7 innings.  Obviously, he could have easily finished the game.  Let's do everything we can to keep those innings down as much as possible.
