Error sends Marisnick on mad dash to home

HOUSTON -- Jake Marisnick zoomed around third base and slid head first into home in the fifth inning during the Astros' 8-3 win against the Red Sox on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park, his long hair bouncing around his head as fast as his legs were racing around the bases.

The center fielder got a chance to show off his wheels and his locks when he scored on a mad dash to tie the game at 3 after a throwing error by Red Sox catcher Ryan Hanigan, whose throw to second to try to nab Marisnick stealing the base deflected off his arm and skipped into left field.
