Reyes was the key to the game. He stopped the bleeding and got us in the dugout.

It was a little surreal that the bleeding never stopped.

I'm sitting [in the dugout] thinking that we've got the best closer in the game on the mound, but we also have the best hitter in the game at the plate. I was sitting there thinking he's going to try to throw him sliders, and he got a good one to hit. It was an unbelievable feeling. As soon as he hit it, you knew it was gone.

It's not gangbusters. It's a few here, a few there. But mostly, the bleeding has stopped.

Last year we stopped the bleeding. This year we must heal the patient.

That was the key to the first game. The second game, we put the ball in play a lot better. Our kids responded well after the first game loss.
