He had a high pitch count there for a while, then all of a sudden he really started throwing strikes. I thought he was getting better as the game progressed.

We didn't pitch very well. We weren't consistently throwing strikes, and things piled up.

We'll probably shut him down for the year, ... If he can't pitch in Cleveland, we'll shut him down. It's not a serious thing.

He's gotten better as the year has gone on. When he learns to get hitters out with low pitch counts, then you'll see him go to the next level.

Kent pitched a good game. His pitch count started to get high and I didn't want to kill the kid. We talked a little bit before and he was getting a little tired. We can rely on (Weaver) to close it out.

He's just a model for everybody to emulate, whether it be first-pitch strikes, getting ahead in the count consistently [or] quality of location. And he's averaging eight to 10 pitches an inning. He makes his put-away pitch. I'm sure he feels very good about where he is right now.
