early great obvious runs spot today
Today was a do-or-die for them, and he pitched a great game. It's obvious that he is a big-game pitcher. So when you spot him some runs early and he has that cushion, then it makes him that much better.
hard harder last needed series soon ten work
We needed to play hard all game, not just the last ten minutes. We need to work harder and end this series as soon as possible.
