Editing spacing of bullet points in abstract of the YAML portion of an R Markdown document?

How do I get all these bullet points to line up in the abstract of my R Markdown document? I've tried so many permutations of spaces, tabs, newlines, etc., that my head is spinning. There has to be an easy way.

title: "Untitled"
author: "Me"
date: "Tuesday, June 16, 2015"
output: 
  pdf_document:
    toc: true
    number_section: true
abstract: | 
  * Foo
  * Bar
  * Baz
---

# My first section #

hello

Pandoc introduces the \tightlist environment if you don't separate lists items with a space. When keeping a space between * you avoid this and simply get \begin{itemize} .... In addition, the first line in abstract is always indented in LATEX, it is the standard expected behaviour. Use \noindent to remove the indentation.
