The first three innings it felt like I had a groove going. Then I started elevating and I can't attribute it to anything. But when I started missing high, they were hitting it.

I'm the one that woke them up a little bit by making the pitches that I made. But I look forward to seeing them again, definitely. They're a good team and I like to compete against them.

If I can get an out with one or two pitches and use my sinker or my cutter, I'm better off, ... I stopped being a village boy, thinking that I can throw any stone, any rock through a wall, and started thinking about being a guy that could last longer, to take some off my fastball and not to depend only on throwing hard.

I had good stuff, ... I was staying on top of the ball because I could not bend down. It was a blessing in disguise, because I could stay on top of my changeup and my fastball.

It would mean a lot, especially to my family, the Angels fans and to my country, ... It is not time to hide from it anymore. It is out there.

It will be welcome and a privilege, and I needed a good team behind me just to be a candidate.
