*The teenage sensation, the Wunderkind, the Natural, the adolescent phenom, the one and only uber-hyped Bryce Harper hit the first homerun of his career last night. He also committed an error. He also struck out. Oh yeah, he committed his first career Howard. Welcome to the list kid.*Placido Polanco helped put the game away in the bottom of the 8th inning last night with a 2 run blast. It was his first homerun of the season and his 2000th career hit. Congratulations to Polly.*Jordan Lyles scales the mound today for the Astros. He's made only one start this season, and gave up 3 runs over 6 innings. The 21 year old righy made his MLB debut in 2011, going 2-8 with a 5.36 ERA.*Both Juan Pierre and Pete Orr made my Minor League Free Agent squad for 2012.*Freddy Galvis has 15 RBI. Albert Pujols- 12. That doesn't mean Freddy is good, but it does mean that Pujols has been the biggest disappoint so far this season.*Joe Blanton now has more wins (4) and a better ERA (2.96) ...

On a day where Bass was particularly stingy, Harper still found a way to tally another impressive bomb. And not that I’ll be able to make this a habit, but I’ve caught them both live.
Here’s Bryce Harper career home...
