When you're playing certain teams in the league, you know you've got to score. We scored five last night and then five in one inning tonight. You know you have to do that, and the pitching did a nice job. But, yeah, the add-on runs are key.

We played a good ballgame. We scratched a couple runs and caught the big break.

We played a good ballgame, ... We scratched a couple runs and caught the big break.

We scored some runs to give him a little breathing room. He pitched good. He got out of some big jams.

They know we can score some runs so we're not out of games. They're confident that we have some offence. We're solid top to bottom.

In the past, if he gave up a few runs early, sometimes the game would get away from him. But he's been a new guy now for the last few months. He's just getting better and better. He showed that tonight.
