With apologies to Paul McCartney:

Rocky Ramon Was pitching at home Hoping to hold down the Astros Rocky had come Equipped with a gun To set down the side with some KOs.

Ramon Ramirez pitched two scoreless inning last night and is becoming the go to guy in the Colorado bullpen. He faced the heart of the Houston order in the eighth and struck out the side, giving him 16 strikeouts in just 12 innings. Last night, he kept the Astros in check while the offense rallied for three runs in the 8th and 9th inning to pull out a 5-4 victory and keep the team in first place in the NL West.
