I went from a good game to a so-so game because of my walks.
|
I'm able to spot my fastball and everything works off that. I'm trying to take it one game at a time, so let's just say I'm in a good groove.
|
I'm not happy with [my outing]. I fell behind a lot of hitters late in the game, and their pitching was amazing the last three days. Hopefully the last two innings gets us going into the road trip.
|
I've been feeling great all year. It was just a matter of having that extra confidence to go out there and challenge people. Maybe it's a little too late in the season, but it's something I can carry over to next year.
|
In the beginning, I wasn't thinking about it. But in the eighth inning, I threw like five pitches, and I started thinking about it. It's good ... I saved the bullpen.
|
It starts from here, taking it back to Spring Training and go toward April. I like to have a strong start and go out there continue it. Hopefully we can get these two games out of the way and go on to the next round for us and for the people of Puerto Rico.

It was one of those days where everything you throw up there, they hit it or it's a ball.
|
It's been a frustrating year. I've been down, then up. I never settled into a place to be steady.
|
Once we got that eight-spot up there, I felt a little more relaxed. I knew I had to throw strikes early in the count and get some ground balls. That's what happened.
|
Out there, you're not going to have a chance to work on things, to test out pitches. It's for something important. You have to get outs, so it should help.
|
That helped me to go all nine right there. A 3-1 lead is nothing. Getting those five runs there was a big lift for the team.
|
That was the turning point. Then we came back the next inning and scored some runs.
|
The first four innings were good. My slider was not working well. Other than that they got clutch hits and their pitching has been amazing the last three days.
|
They hit some balls hard. I never worry about our defense. I think we have one of the best defenses.
|
They were seeing the ball like it was a basketball.
