“At that point, we had left 10 guys on base. We had had a couple opportunities, but we didn't capitalize on them. Getting off the hook like that was good.”
“The one thing I wish would have happened was we would have scored one more run for Milton. I wish he could have gotten a win out of that instead of a no-decision.”
“You really have nothing to lose in that situation. I choked up a little bit, especially with two strikes. I wasn't looking for an offspeed pitch, but I knew he had it. He ended up throwing me another fastball that I stayed on and hit it where I was supposed to hit it instead of trying to pull it.”
“We got some walks and some hits with runners in scoring position, ... Those are the little things you have to do. You're not always going to get the three-run homer.”
“He's kind of sneaky. He throws across his body and he short-arms his pitches. You've got to feel him out. It took us a few times to get something going off of him.”
“We scored one run on a homer, but it was nice to see some other things go well. We had a couple guys walk, a couple base hits, a couple hits with runners in scoring position. Those are the little things you have to do to win. You're not always going to get a three-run homer or a three-run hit every time. You have to do the small things, and that's what we did today.”
