Fausto was in command. He showed tremendous poise when they tried to put together a couple of innings later on.

He throws 60 pitches in the first couple innings and did nothing but get much stronger.

I got up about 4:30 and later went to breakfast with (bench coach) Joel Skinner. When we came back, I didn't know what to do. I do get excited about Opening Day. It's a special day.

He battled even though he didn't have good command of his fastball.

This was our most impressive win of the season. We showed tremendous poise down the stretch, hitting 8-of-9 free throws.

I think they did well, showed a lot of poise, but are going to have to do a lot more if we are going to be really good. Hopefully, we can do a little bit more this week, a little bit more the following week and a little bit more the following week.
