Walking up there, I try to tell myself, 'I'm lucky to get to hit in this situation.' I expect myself to come through. I think that helps take some of the pressure off.

His only downfall was walking Nuñez, and then he hit Luna with two strikes. You expect when you get in the middle of their lineup they're going to do something. He had them in position to put them away and he didn't do that, and that was unfortunate.

I think our defence probably is a little overlooked, but pitching and defence are going to win you a lot of ballgames.

They beat me up pretty good. But I feel great anyway.

When you're dropping back, you don't expect to hit someone.

Eventually it was going to hit in Fort Lauderdale. They're always so close, but we have been lucky in the last years.
