I was trying to refresh myself. Today against Kansas City I was concentrating on my pace, not to get the win. I want to make my body ready for the next [World Baseball Classic] game.

Everyone was concentrating so hard. That [concentration] allowed him to make that play.

I guess it's good. An outing like today makes me more comfortable on the mound.

Now I'm against the Dodgers, but I feel nothing different because I'm going to face new guys, not former teammates. (Guys like) Jeff Kent. It's not the same guys, so I don't really feel like I'm facing the Dodgers. It's different.

It was too bad he couldn't go longer than five innings. But he did a good job, but the manager wanted to use more pitchers.

Our goal was to get the win. This was an important win for us. I didn't expect to go three innings but was glad to help the team.
