This was a great baseball game all the way around. Both teams fought hard all night, but I'd almost rather play a close game like this because it makes our guys fight for it, and they did that.
We got plenty of guys on the mound tonight, and that was important for us. We needed to get some time out there and get them prepared for (the rest of the week).
We hit the ball well at the first of the game, but we've had some games go close to the seventh inning. We know we need to close out games sooner, and we're capable of it. I told the guys that after the game.
