head runner
The runner has to keep his head up in that situation.
ask given run
We haven't given him a whole lot of run support. He's doing his job, I'll tell you. I can't ask for any more than the way he's pitched.
angels arguably candidate few leading runs
We got a few runs off Colon, who arguably right now is the leading candidate for the Cy Young Award. That's very pleasing. The matchup would say that the Angels were favored big-time. But that's why you play.
colon feels few great runs win
We got a few runs off Colon and that was very pleasing. It feels great to win here.
ball breaking hit needed run swung third
First and third with one out, we needed to put that ball in play and we didn't. Not being able to get that hit and run down there kills us. He got the breaking ball, then he swung through it.
ball brought furthest hits home might player run since six weeks
We've said it before, when Carlos Pena hits a home run -- wow! That might be the furthest ball ever hit in this ballpark. He's been a different player since we brought him up six weeks ago. He's a better player.

curl double gotten run tag tried umpire
That's just the way things are going for us. We could have gotten a run out of it, but we wouldn't have gotten out of the double play. He tried to curl out of the tag and the umpire made the right call.
ball contact good guy hit home last runs
This guy is a good contact hitter. He can put the ball in play. He hit 17 home runs last year. He's a good hitter, and he's a good infielder.
block might runs score stop
In the sixth, not being able to block the ball, that was huge. We might still be playing. ... We didn't stop them after that, but we didn't score any runs either, so it's a moot point.
chances instead letting might runners score second
You want to get that runner, ... Yes, they might still have runners on first and second with one out, but you will take your chances with that instead of letting the go-ahead run score that late.
What's there not to like about this guy?
