Lucas did a nice job. He started out not looking so good, but got stronger and stronger. He got most of his strikeouts late in the game.

He's been punishing the ball pretty good over the past five or six games, just line drives into the gaps. He got off to a relatively slow start and whether that was some tentativeness with his knee situation, I'm not sure. But he's been hitting his stride lately.

Young pitched very well. He really did a nice job.

It was a good ball game that could have gone either way. I think they're a very good team. They got one more run than we did.

He actually had a good first inning. That was good to see. He can be tough. Both he and James have been steady, maybe not what you would call outstanding or flashy but steady.

James just pitched very well, he did an excellent job despite hurting himself twice during the game. We did hit well today and that was certainly a pleasant thing as well.
