He didn't lose many batters. He did a good job of keeping the ball around the plate, keeping guys off balance, and we couldn't get the key hits when we needed them.

He hasn't pitched much this year, but I knew he could do it. I have a lot of confidence, and he did a good job of keeping the Demons off balance, and he threw a lot of strikes.
