He got a fastball down and in and got a good swing on it. Frank's a young kid and has a lot to learn, but he's swinging the bat well.

That kid is going to be good; he reminds me of Rocket. He's young, but that fastball, it's late. I don't care what the radar gun says, it seems like it's on top of you. He's got good stuff.

[Italiano] threw the ball extremely well early on. The wheels fell off there a little bit in the fourth inning.

Submariner like that, you don't see those kinds of guys too often. But that's really no excuse.

(McCormick) never got rattled out there ... I'm not taking anything away from our hitters, but we couldn't make the adjustments, which is what this game is all about.

We ran into a into a guy that was throwing the ball very well ... you've got to tip your cap to that (pitching) staff today, they did an outstanding job of keeping our hitters down.
