All I was thinking about was getting the ball down, but it still floated on me. Obviously, it worked out, but that's still not how you want to do it exactly.

Everything had to be done perfectly. There is no room for any error at all. Otherwise, it's not going to happen.

We've had to battle back from those kind of nights a lot this year.

He left it up and out over the plate. I got lucky there. I got behind in the count and had a pitch earlier in the at-bat and missed it.

I felt great up there today. I was able to slow everything down. I was under control at the plate. Everything just was real clear in my mind going up there.

Billy's tough, obviously. He's one of the toughest pitchers you're going to face in the league. If there's a spot where you want to take a chance, you want to do that on the base paths. Chances are you're not going to string two base hits against him, so it's worth taking a little bit of a risk.
