Javy kept fighting out there. He gave up a bunch of hits but made good pitches when he had to and got us through [six] innings, which at the time, I didn't think he had a chance.

He is similar to Tony [Clark], who has learned this [reserve] role. Being a bench player isn't easy to do, and the quicker they accept it and fine a routine that works for them, these are the guys that are the most successful.

We just kept battling. We were so many times in a situation, say, where we had first and third with nobody out and we don't score and throw the momentum back to the other side. But we kept playing hard.

We needed a win, period,

His whole career is he'll walk some guys, but he makes the big pitch to get out of the inning.
