I was glad to get out there. It was emotional for me, just putting on the uniform and being able to take the field at Jacobs Field.

I was just glad that Mike had given me the ball. In Game 1, they had a lot of confidence in me. Even when I struggled in New York he had a lot of confidence in me even though I was losing velocity.

It doesn't matter what spot I pitch in. I can help at the top or in the middle. I'm not an ego guy. What does matter is getting the ball with a chance to win. You've got that in Cleveland.

It feels good to go out and give a good performance, ... Our team did a good job scoring for me.

It gets you fired up. I know they don't do it on purpose, but it brings you to another level.
