What they’re saying

“I was a little bland, I didn't have my greatest stuff. ... I have to go out there and compete and do my job, and that's exactly what I did tonight.”

“I think our guys just kept playing, man. I mean, they just situationally hit, you know. ... just keep bringing guys to plate and executing what you're supposed to execute. That's all it is. We want a relentless lineup one through nine, limit the lapses, and when it happens, just get right back to it. And they did that.”
