Russ just lost it in a hurry. He threw the ball great for three innings and then lost his command. He wasn't as crisp in the strike zone.

He just lost it in a hurry,

He was only supposed to go two innings, but the way he threw, we stretched him out to three. He had real good command of his fastball and a real good breaking ball.

A guy threw [95] pitches in four innings and we still only had three runs to show for it. I think when that happens and they get their bullpen in, you start wondering what it's going to be like at the end. That's a natural thought, I think, for anybody sitting in that situation. We just didn't get the one hit to break it open.

You have to tip your hat to him. He did pitch a nice game. He mixed everything up and threw a few more fastballs than we expected.

I liked the way they all threw the ball. They've come a long way. We feel like we have three really good players there.
