There was a loose ball, and he shot it from 3 or 4 feet beyond the line, like it was nothing.

I think every time we've played them when they turn on the pressure, we get loose with the ball and make a couple turnovers and they get a run going. We've got to limit turnovers, especially going to Detroit. Their crowd is going to be probably the loudest it's ever been all season and we've got to be prepared for that.

WHY COULDN'T McCOVEY HAVE HIT THE BALL JUST THREE FEET HIGHER?

The bottom line is we've got to win and keep on going. I think we've still got a shot. Before the game, if you had told me they were only going to score three runs, I would have said we win that game.

They surprised us with an unbalanced line and a quick snap. It took us a drive to figure it out.

We didn't do any of the little things well tonight. Every loose ball was theirs.
