We've been struggling to score runs all year, and just the way we came out hitting early I thought eventually we'll get some (run-scoring) hits today.
That first inning could have been a lot worse. When I went out there, I just told him to settle down, take a little off his fastball and to find some strikes. They were struggling to put the ball in play.
Their pitcher was struggling to get the ball over the plate so there were a lot of take signs on in that last inning. That put him in situations where he had to throw strikes.
