The inning was good, my tempo was off a little bit. The feeling out there came back quicker to me than I thought. It really felt good.

I was a little rusty. Wash had a little quicker tempo than I'm used to having. But we're ahead of the curve right now. The goal is still April 1.

We had some tempo in our disguise defensively.

In the first inning, he scuffled a little bit. It was reminiscent of his last two starts. Then all of a sudden, he found his curveball and it got him into a good arm-slot and he was awfully good for the rest of the game.

They were a little quicker than we were. They got to the ball a little bit faster than we did. We had 14 fewer opportunities to shoot the ball because their quickness forced many turnovers.

It's good sometimes when you can say, 'Let's keep it going,' ... But I think they could use a little bit of time to gather themselves and get ready to play Michigan State.
