I wasn't very good in getting the ground balls I would have liked to have gotten today. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on. I would have loved to have done better without a doubt, Just like they wanted to beat me, they knew I was wanting to beat them, too.
That's a good lineup over there. At 1-0, you really don't think a solo shot is going to beat you. But it was enough tonight. All four of their pitchers pitched great, kept us down and never gave us any air to get any runs.
I'm motivated to come here and pitch well. I wasn't as good as the other day. ... But I pitched well enough to keep them off balance.
I'm happy with what happened today because it was a good team to play against. Getting that deep against that quality of a lineup is without a doubt a bonus.
I remember how good a hitter he was. He's no different now.
You can't forget Minnesota has been a great team for the last few years. We might have caught them at a good time.
