Scott Downs Strong Quotations

The one Cantu hit wasn't a bad pitch, he's just a strong kid, ... Tonight with the wind blowing out it didn't take a whole lot.

That's a tough lineup. To get a five-spot early helps and lets you pound the zone a little bit. I got the curveball to Ortiz -- he's just a strong guy. It was a pretty good pitch, I thought, but that happens. I'm glad it was a 5-1 game instead of a 5-4 game.
